Hasselbacks are the best known of the Swedish potato recipes. The original uses butter and bread crumbs, and sometimes Parmesan. Bay leaves are a favorite Scandinavian herb. The potatoes are slices deeply, almost to the base so that the slices open out slightly like a fan when cooked and the edges get beautifully crisp and golden. Serve as an accompaniment to roast or grilled meat or poultry, baked salmon, or pan-fried white fish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place 2 chopsticks on a cutting board with a potato lengthwise between the chopsticks. Slice the potato into 1/8-inch slices along its length, using the chopsticks as a guide so you don't cut all the way through. Repeat to cut remaining potatoes.
- Insert 1 bay leaf inside each sliced potato.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a roasting pan over medium heat. Add potatoes and garlic in a single layer and season generously with salt and pepper. Move potatoes around until coated all over and cook until browned a bit, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and roast until potatoes are crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.
