Bluecheese and Apple Hasselback Potatoes

Ingredients
  • 12 medium sized red skin potatoes
  • Unsweetened apple sauce
  • Blue cheese or ranch salad dressing
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 diced green onion
Directions 
  1. Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes, drain and cool slightly.
  2. Place each potato between 2 chopsticks or skewers (as per the video) and make several parallel slits into each potato top making sure not to slice completely through.
  3. Mix 2 tbsp each of apple sauce and salad dressing together and using a pastry brush, slather the sauce all over the potatoes. Gently pull the potatoes apart where you've cut them and get the sauce in between each slit.
  4.  Place the potatoes on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with olive oil or cooking spray. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to roast. Roast in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 60 minutes. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper to taste and garnish with the green onions. Serve with more apple sauce, and salad dressing to dip.
