4. Coat Potatoes:

???- Brush the garlic butter mixture over each potato, making sure to get between the slices.

5. Bake:

???- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each potato.

???- Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender on the inside.

6. Parmesan Topping:

???- In the last 10 minutes of baking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each potato.

7. Garnish:

???- Once out of the oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the potatoes.

8. Serve:

???- Arrange the Hasselback potatoes on a serving platter alongside your Entree.
