    Slice agria potatoes in half, leaving the skin on. Slice down 4 or 5mm apart along the potatoes but not all the way through (down to about 5mm) then toss in a bowl with oil salt pepper and Italian herbs (or what ever you like) place on baking paper on a oven tray and roast at 200-220°c until the outside if crispy and inside still fluffy

    I cut them super thin, 1mm between slices. And place a chopstick or two on the chopping board to set the depth of cut. Then baste them a few times during cooking. If you can get the butter or oil to penetrate into the cuts, they’re that much better.

    Simple as, but a great chew.
    And right there forum folks is the reason Beaker is an “I“ shape and Rushy is a “O”. Rushy would have not used tomato but in its stead would have lavished great dollops of sour cream into that dish and called it “pâtes crémeuses aux fruits de mer” but then I would have had to add mushrooms because I like them. Nah good shit Beaker, I would have scoffed that down in a heartbeat.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Round is still a shape

    Might give your suggestion a go too. Maybe with crisp bacon as well.


    And just made up for the healthy feed, just did a leg of lamb spit roasted, for lunch.
    Hot meat sandwiches, rather nice.
    Also some boiled scampi as a side. Also really good. These are a new discovery for me. Really like them. Very similar to crayfish taste.

    No pics, as was hungry and forgot.....

    They had crap skins, so I did peel them.

    Did one with a cross hatch cut to. I have some ideas for that next time....

    Thanks for the prompt to give them a go.

    Please note, 2 chopsticks were harmed in the making of these..... Only lightly though...

    Man I love hassleback potatoes but they can be a bit time consuming when your cooking for a family of 6, I reckon I'm gonna order up one of these and see if it will do the job a bit quicker

    Beautiful mate, they are an absolute pleasure to eat. I have got a double deep fryer out in the garage but haven't used it for a while. Deep frying them gets them even better. Once out sprinkle with very course salt and parsley/chives and some bacon bits and your neighbors will turn up too...

    The department of fastidious accuracy is opening an investigation into you random width approach to slicing and is particularly focussed upon your apparently deliberate disregard for the prohibited oblique angle cut on one potato and the obvious thumbing of your nose to authority that resulted in the double direction cutting of another. We will be asking for a Royal Commission report before considering how to proceed with prosecution but we advise that in the meantime any further edible tuber abuse will have dire consequences.
