Day Late Tasty Tuesday: Hassleback Potatoes

I'm a day late in posting, but had to share this new recipe.  Have you ever had a Hassleback baked potato?  If not, you simply have to try this!

A Hassleback potato is a cross between a french fry and a baked potato.  The outside is crispy, salty goodness and the inside is tender, fluffy, and oh-so-buttery! As Ina Garten ~ aka the Barefoot Contessa would say, "How bad could that be?"

Added bonus:  Easy to make!

Make sure you scrub the potatoes well before you slice them.  For more crispy potatoes, cut thin slices.  You have to force the sections apart to add in the butter, but it's well worth the extra work!  Also, for extra deliciousness, add your favorite potato toppings!  

I made these for the first time about a month ago, and the family went nuts!  Voted as a definate make-again/keep in the menu side dish!

Kelsey's Coleslaw ~ Yum!

Oh, how I love this coleslaw recipe!  Once I saw Kelsey Nixon make this on her show, Kelsey's Essentials (featured on the Cooking Channel), I knew I had to have her recipe!  Instead of the usual, mayo-loaded, slightly sweetened fare, this one tastes lighter and is wonderfully tangy!

I've made this savory coleslaw a couple of times to take to potlucks at church. My family loves it, and always requests that I save some so they can have it later. So far, I've never had any leftovers to bring home!


Kelsey's Coleslaw (From Kelsey's Essentials on the Cooking Channel)

Sauce:
1/2 c. sour cream
1/2 c. mayo
1/4 c. lemon juice
2 T olive oil

Veggies:
1/2 head Napa cabbage
1/2 head green cabbage
1/4 c. grated carrots
4 sliced green onions

Seasonings:
Kosher salt
Cracked black pepper

Make the sauce in a large bowl.  toss lightly with the veggies.  Season to taste.  Once I've put this in a serving dish, I like to garnish it with a little more lemon juice, onions, salt, & pepper.  I love to see those little black specks and a hint of dark green!


Cooking tip:
I try to make this the night before to let the flavors marry.  This recipe is also easy to double to take to potlucks.
