Keep summer grilling and entertaining simple with Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes and Dorot. Just sit back and enjoy your guests. | HostessAtHeart.comThis time of year is just beautiful in Nebraska.  The worst of the freezing weather is behind us and the heat and humidity aren’t unbearable yet.  You just can’t keep me inside right now so my meals need to be no-fuss like these Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes!  They’re perfect for the grill!

Keep summer grilling and entertaining simple with Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes and Dorot. Just sit back and enjoy your guests. | HostessAtHeart.comI’m outside gardening or walking and we’re on our bicycles every chance we get.  When we’re busy like this I want first of all, simple and fresh, also on the grill if possible and finally a no-fuss menu. Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes with Dorot is a 3-check recipe!

I plant a lot of herbs in my garden each year.  Unfortunately, my herbs are just babies right now and can’t help me out in the kitchen.  When I found Dorot herbs and garlic in the freezer section of my Trader Joes store I couldn’t be more excited.

Making garlic bread or fresh salad dressing is a snap!   Imagine fresh basil whenever you need it! I get giddy just thinking about it!Keep summer grilling and entertaining simple with Garlic-Basil Red Hasselback Potatoes and Dorot. Just sit back and enjoy your guests. | HostessAtHeart.com

I read that Dorot grows their own garlic, basil, cilantro, parsley, chili, and ginger and then flash freezes it within 90 minutes of harvest and they have a shelf life of two years.  I just keep it in the freezer and pop a portion out whenever I need it.

Just sit back and enjoy your guests. | HostessAtHeart.com

Making a garlic-herb sauce to go on those potatoes was such a great idea! I’ll be using that combination in so many other dishes from vegetables, proteins, to pasta.  As a result of using herbs and garlic to flavor a dish, I don’t need as much salt.

Just look how quick and easy these potatoes are to make!

Ingredients
  • 4 medium-sized red potatoes
  • 4 cubes of Dorot Chopped Basil
  • 1 cube of Dorot Crushed Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • Black pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
  1. In a small dish, pop Dorot Chopped Basil and Crushed Garlic cubes. Add canola oil and set aside.

  3. Place a potato in between two skewers or chopsticks and make even cuts into the potato without cutting through the bottom.
  4. Stir the Dorot mixture to an even sauce, and using a butter knife, brush sauce into each slice. Pour any remaining sauce over the potatoes.
  5. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and cover with foil.
  6. Grill for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Alternatively potatoes can be baked in a 375°F oven for the same amount of time.
  7. Serve immediately.

    I knew I would love this recipe – I have never heard of Dorot!. My new neighborhood has just about anything you could want so I am sure I will find this product here. Since I don’t have my big herb garden any more this would be perfect when I need more than just a snip of basil. Nice pic of John and his “Big Green Egg” (I think that’s what they are called).

    Thanks for this quick prep and easy recipe Julie. I won’t find Dorot in my neck of the woods here but I’m sure there’s something similar in my local store. I’ll make these potatoes for lunch today with some chopped garlic and parsley. And I know what to make when I fire up the grill very soon! Thanks for sharing x

    Julie everything about these hasselbacks are superb. I wish we could get hold of the Dorot herbs over in the UK – the ice-cube style portions they come in are such a great idea. I keep on looking at hasselback recipes and admiring their good looks but never get around to making them. But now you have me convinced. I’m also a big fan of those dinky cast iron baking pots and massively impressed by John being willing to star in your photos. My hubby would run a mile. Enjoy a summer full of lazy grilling Sundays and good company.

    Ahh I’m here, not quite sure what happened before. Your post prompted me to buy them at TJ’s. I did buy them years ago, but forgot all about them. Those potatoes look extra yumm with all that goodness in it. Still busy and haven’t gone back to the discipline of blogging yet. I have a farewell party I’m hosting tomorrow with some Moroccan food, but I’ve already blogged about that particular recipe 🙂 I’ll get with t he flow sometime soon I hope 🙂

It’s been really hot and windy here already and it’s forcing me inside. It’s hard to keep the plants watered for more than a day. Still beats winter though!
