    A Brief Overview of Scored Potatoes

    Scored potatoes, also known as hasselback potatoes, originated in Sweden and have become popular worldwide for their unique appearance and delicious taste. The method involves making thin slices across the potato without cutting all the way through, allowing the potato to fan out slightly as it bakes. This creates a crispy exterior while maintaining a tender interior, making them the perfect canvas for a variety of seasonings and toppings. Our Easy Sheet Pan Scored Potatoes recipe simplifies the process even further, making it accessible to home cooks of all skill levels.
