The humble potato was transformed by a chef in the Hasselbacken Hotel in Stockholm and the dish has taken its name from the Hotel. A skewer is placed though the potato and it is then thinly sliced with the skewer stopping the knife cutting the whole potato. The raw potato is then coated with melted butter and placed in a roasting pan, thyme, rosemary and garlic are added. Cooking time is about an hour and every 15mins or so coat the potatoes with the melted butter from the roasting pan.
