What You’ll Need:
- 4 large potatoes (go for a variety like Yukon Gold or Russet for the perfect texture)
- 100g of canna-butter 🧈
- 200ml crème double
- Juice of half a lemon 🍋
- Salt and freshly ground pepper 🧂
- Lumpfish roe (or your favorite caviar) 🎣
- 2-3 spring onions, finely chopped 🌱
- Wild garlic leaves (optional, but adds a beautiful earthy touch) 🌿
Step-by-Step: How to Create Your Perfect Hasselback Potatoes
- Prepare Your Potatoes
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). While your oven heats up, wash the potatoes thoroughly. Now, for the classic Hasselback effect: take a sharp knife and slice each potato thinly, about 2-3mm apart, being careful not to cut all the way through. Pro tip: place the potato between two wooden spoons to act as a barrier, so your knife doesn’t go all the way to the bottom. - Infuse with Canna-Butter
Melt your canna-butter in a small saucepan until it’s golden and liquid. Brush each potato generously with the melted canna-butter, making sure to get it in between the slices for maximum flavor. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them in the oven. - Baste and Bake
Bake the potatoes for about 45-50 minutes, basting with more melted canna-butter every 10 minutes. This will ensure that the edges get crispy and golden, while the insides stay tender and flavorful. - Prepare Your Crème Double Topping
While the potatoes are baking, it’s time to make the crème double topping. In a small bowl, combine the crème double with a pinch of salt, freshly ground pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For that extra layer of richness, melt a little more canna-butter and stir it into the mixture. This will add a smooth, creamy finish to your potatoes. - Assemble and Serve
Once the potatoes are golden brown and perfectly crisp on the edges, remove them from the oven. Dollop a spoonful of the seasoned crème double onto each potato, making sure to spread it evenly across the top. Then, carefully add a small spoonful of lumpfish roe to each potato for that luxurious finishing touch. Garnish with finely chopped spring onions and a few wild garlic leaves if you have them.
Savor the Experience
Take a bite, and let the flavors do the talking. The crispy potato, the richness of the canna-butter, the creamy tang of the crème double, and the briny pop of the roe all come together in perfect harmony. This dish is indulgence at its finest – an elevated take on a classic comfort food that feels both fancy and satisfying.
Not only will this recipe impress your dinner guests, but it’s also a fantastic way to enjoy the benefits of canna-butter in a sophisticated and delicious form. Pair it with a chilled glass of white wine or your favorite sparkling water, and you’ve got the ultimate dinner experience.
Pro Tips:
- If lumpfish roe isn’t your thing, you can substitute with other types of caviar, or even finely chopped smoked salmon for a different but equally luxurious twist.
- Want to take the cannabis experience even further? Consider infusing the crème double with a touch of cannabis oil for an extra kick.
- Serve alongside a light salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
