The Rosti Hasselback cutter is a fast and efficient tool for making sharp, even grooves in potatoes and other root vegetables. Whether you're preparing classic Hasselback potatoes or experimenting with veggies like parsnips or tomatoes, you'll easily achieve quick and impressive results.

The cutter consists of two parts: a frame with large handles and fixed stainless steel blade-lamellae, plus a lid that fits into the frame. Place the potato on a cutting board, position the cutter over it and press down. The blades slice deep grooves without cutting through. The lid lifts slightly, then on pressing down again the potato is released from the blades. This creates beautifully sharp ridges in seconds—so simple!

Hasselback potatoes are a classic Swedish dish originating from Restaurant Hasselbacken in Stockholm in the mid-1950s. The simple method became popular in Swedish homes, and later spread across Scandinavia, Europe, North America, and Australia.
The technique involves slicing the potato almost all the way through into thin segments that fan out during baking, yielding crispy, chip-like edges and a soft core. Serving options range from a basic butter-and-salt combo to richer variations with cheese, herbs, garlic, breadcrumbs or bacon.
