There are few things better than a potato that manages to be crispy, buttery, cheesy, and tender all at the same time.
And these Crockpot Hasselback Potatoes?
They absolutely deliver!
Hasselback potatoes look fancy because of all those thin little slices running across the top, but the beauty of this recipe is that your slow cooker does most of the work.
The potatoes become wonderfully tender inside while the butter, garlic, herbs, and cheese work their way into those little slices.
It’s the kind of side dish that looks like you spent all afternoon fussing over it when, honestly, the slow cooker did most of the heavy lifting.

What Are Hasselback Potatoes?
Hasselback potatoes are whole potatoes sliced almost all the way through, leaving the bottom intact so the potato stays together.
Instead of cutting the potato into wedges or cubes, you make a series of thin slices across the top.
When the potato cooks, those slices fan out slightly.
That creates plenty of delicious little edges for butter, seasonings, and cheese to cling to.
And that is exactly why Hasselback potatoes are so good!
You get the creamy, fluffy center of a baked potato with more flavorful edges in every bite.
