### **Step-by-Step Instructions:**
#### **1. Prepare the Hasselback Potatoes:**
Start by preparing the potatoes. Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a paper towel.
– Using a sharp knife, carefully make thin slices along each potato, stopping just before the bottom. To make this easier and prevent slicing all the way through, you can place each potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons—this will act as a barrier to guide your knife.
– Once all potatoes are sliced, drizzle them with **olive oil** and rub to coat evenly. If you want extra richness, melt **butter** and pour it over the potatoes as well.
– Sprinkle **garlic powder**, **onion powder**, **salt**, and **pepper** over the potatoes, making sure the seasonings get in between the slices.
– If you like a herby flavor, you can add **fresh rosemary** or **thyme** between the slices, which will infuse the potatoes with aromatic flavors while they bake.
– Arrange the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
