Chili Baked Hasselback Potatoes

Chili baked hasselback potatoes make the perfect meal.

Here's why:

• Everything is baked together in one dish
• You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand that need to be used up (colored bell peppers, corn kernels, chopped tomatoes, zucchini etc)
• Great filling vegetarian meal
• Can be frozen for up to one month after cooking
• Easily served up into individual servings (one potato and a scoop of chili each)
• Easily prepped ahead of time
• Great for feeding a crowd and the recipe is easily doubled or tripled

What Ingredients Are Needed?

Other than the obvious potatoes, you will only need a handful of simple ingredients to whip up these chili baked hasselback potatoes.

You will need:

• potatoes
• yellow bell pepper
• 1 can chopped tomato
• 1 can red beans, washed and drained
• tomato purée
• green beans
• corn kernel
• cheddar, shredded
• fresh cilantro, chopped
• vegetable broth
• ground cumin
• ground coriander (cilantro)
• cayenne pepper
• optional extras for serving: cheese, coriander, sour cream, chili flakes.

This is the perfect meal for using up whatever you have in the fridge.

Don't have enough cheddar? A mix of other cheeses would work just as well - Colby, Monterey Jack, Parmesan if you have them on hand.

Don't have enough corn or green beans? Add in some chopped zucchini, another bell pepper (whatever color you have), some chopped carrot. I have even been known to throw in a couple of squares of chopped pumpkin if it needs to be used.

No Red Beans? Other beans that work well are black beans or chickpeas. If you don't want to use beans for whatever reason, then simply increase the number of vegetables you are using, and Bob's your uncle.

Why Hasselback?

I love using a Hasselback or accordion method for roasted veggies as it ensures they are beautifully cooked the whole way through, making them tender on the inside, and almost caramelised on the outside.

You get a nice mixture of soft and crispy which is just delicious, especially in these very rooty veggies.

Plus it looks so pretty and really makes a dish go from ok to wow in terms of aesthetics.

To hasselback the potato simply slice each one at similar intervals (½cm/1/5inch) the whole way along. Use chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato to make sure you don't cut the whole way through.

Cooking For More Than 4? Easily Make More Chili Hasselback Potatoes

This is a great recipe for feeding a crowd, which makes it great for easy entertaining, or bringing along to a potluck.

As is, the recipe serves 4, but if you want to cater for more, simply increase the number of potatoes and double the rest of the ingredients.

If you don't have an extra large casserole dish, then simply divide everything between 2 baking dishes and you will be good to go.
