Hasselback or "Swedish-style" potatoes (Slideshow version)
Stage 3/12 : 1 min.
Place the potato, with the dish created in the previous step underneath, on a chopping board.To make cutting easier afterwards, surround the potato with 5 mm-thick pastry blocks.
If you don't have any, use whatever you have on hand that is also around 5 mm thick: school rulers, "Chinese" chopsticks, etc.
