Hasselhoff Potatoes

I first stumbled upon these from the blog Seasaltwithfood and have since seen a few variations with some tips. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and the inclusion of sliced cloves of garlic make them bursting with flavor! I made these at the same time I made some Squashed Potatoes and luckily, they use all of the same ingredients, same baking temp and just slightly longer baking time! Also, they’re technically called Hasselback potatoes, but I can’t help but call them Hasselhoff potatoes.

Squashed Potatoes

These squashed potatoes are easy, tasty and delicious (and not to be confused with mashed potatoes.) They make a quick side dish and can be vegetarian!

Brown Sugar Bacon Brussel Sprouts

Brown Sugar Bacon Brussel Sprouts with Honey-Thyme Roasted Pork Loin (bad picture, I know)

The first time we went to Austin for a meet, we went to Lambert’s for our last-night dinner; that was where I was first introduced to this amazing side dish. The smoky, crisp bacon accentuates the deep sweetness of the brown sugar, and I think both bring out the slight mustard flavor of the brussel sprouts. Best of all, it’s, of course, so easy and uses only 3 ingredients. I just kind of eyeball all of the measurements, so go to your taste, but always make more than you think you’ll need because you will rarely have leftovers!
