An Experiment!

Thanks to Michi of http://www.michiphotostory.com, I found a new way to cook my all time favorite, potato.  She blogged about Hasselback Potato few days back and I was curious on how it tastes. Since I have a few potatoes in my cupboard, I thought of making one today.

I tried to look up for some recipes online and the one that I followed was from Whatscookingamerica.net.

Washed and scrubbed

I read the tip to use chopsticks on both sides of the potato to make sure you don't cut through it and leave a little bit to hold the slices in.

It was a useful tip but unfortunately I wasn't careful in slicing the end. So it was cut off. :D

My butter was still sitting in the fridge when I had the urge to make the dish. So I had to melt it so I can prepare the potato faster.

Usually, I have bread ready but today I ran out. So I thought of using my little girl's old crackers. Maybe they'd look nice because they're tricolor! :)

I mixed everything in the butter. It doesn't look very appetizing. 

After patting the breadcrumb mixture on to the potato, I sprinkled a bit of grated cheddar cheese on top. I made two, one without a foil and the other with one. Just to see how it will go.

As predicted, the one uncovered almost burnt and the potatoes weren't cooked thoroughly. So the next time I'm doing this, I will make sure to cover my potatoes before baking 'em!
