Matt’s Hasselback Potatoes: A Wildberry Favorite Rooted in Simplicity & Flavor

Here at Wildberry, we believe food should be both beautiful and approachable- nourishing to body and soul. That’s why we’re sharing one of our all-time favorite comfort recipes from our own kitchen: Matt’s Hasselback Potatoes.

This dish has become a staple at our table, especially during the summer months when our potatoes are fresh from the field and the days call for something hearty, golden, and crisp around the edges.

What makes this recipe special isn’t just the flavor (although let’s be real, it’s pretty amazing). It’s the ritual of it—the slow, rhythmic slicing, the rich scent of garlic and olive oil filling the air, and the way it turns a humble potato into something worth gathering around.

👨‍🌾 Cutting Hasselback Potatoes, A Farmhouse Method with a Carpenter’s Touch

Matt’s version is uniquely his, which is no surprise coming from someone who can build anything from scratch and makes the perfect grid cuts without missing a beat. He uses wooden dowel rods (yes, like the kind he uses to build with!) to keep the cuts uniform and precise. A little trick to keep you from slicing all the way through, so each potato fans open like a little edible accordion.

🧂 Customize It Your Way

You can keep it simple with just olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper, or you can go wild with toppings like garlic powder, red pepper flakes, sour cream, chives, or even Old Bay (a Maryland classic). The recipe card even includes some of our favorite optional extras if you want to elevate things even further.

🔥 Bake Once, Eat Twice

We love making a big batch and enjoying leftovers the next day, topped with a farm-fresh egg in the morning or reheated crisp in a skillet for lunch. It’s the kind of dish that stretches, comforts, and feels like home.
