This brunch and dessert recipe is so fast and simple to assemble and cook that you can put it in as soon as you pull your main dish off the grill and it will be warm and ready when you are. Add a little of your favorite Irish Whiskey for a little kick.
The “Hasselback” technique imparts amazing flavor and tenderness and dates back to the 1940s. At the Hasselbacken restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, a recipe for potatoes cut and cooked accordion style became wildly popular. Called hasselbackspotatis, the same method creates an out-of-this world baked apple crisp. Teach the kids this one in these interesting times, and even a new use for your leftover instant oatmeal. Sure to be a hit with the whole family!
