Hasselback potatoes

Ingredients

2 kg small floury potatoes
rosemary or thyme
3-6 garlic cloves
5 tbsp fat (olive oil with butter, guanciale render, duck fat)
salt for seasoning
150g macademia nuts
150g breadcrumbs
Handful chives

Directions

Heat an oven to 180 centigrade
Place fat in small pan with aromatics (herbs/garlic) and heat on low. It should not bubble, the aim is to infuse the oil
Place potatoes between two chopsticks, and slice with 2mm slices (if you have a large potato, half it first)
Place potatoes in water while cutting to stop browning, and help remove starch
When all the potatoes are done, dry, toss in the fat and place on tray
Cook in the oven for 45 mins, taking them out at least 2x to spoon over more of the fat
Blend nuts, then mix with breadcrumbs and a few tsp of the fat till it is crumbly
When the 45 mins are up, sprinkle over the mix and return to the oven for 15 mins
Place on serving dish and sprinkle over finely sliced chives
Serve

Originally a Jamie Oliver recipe, this dish looks and tastes great.
