Hasselback Everything

"Hasselback" is now a verb — and a verb calls for a variety of subjects. We made some of them, marching straight past the standard medium potato and pausing to hasselback a sweet potato before hasselbacking a bunch of other foods we thought would benefit from neat rows of nearly thorough slices. We drizzled our hasselbacks, and slid cheeses, herbs and porky items into the slots. We left a few hasselbacks raw before hasselbacking an innocent pickle and calling it a day.
