Even with just potatoes and sour cream, you can make a stunningly delicious and beautiful side dish worthy of a holiday table. These are Hasselback potatoes, which originated in Sweden. Or, more simply, accordion potatoes, where whole potatoes are sliced into thin, accordion-shaped slices and baked with spices and other ingredients in the oven. The simplest recipe is to make the accordion and roll it in vegetable oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and insert a few slices of garlic between the slices. The aroma will be indescribable. Serve the garlic Hasselback with a dollop of sour cream mixed with finely chopped herbs. Very simple, yet delicious and presentable.
