Hasselback Potatoes are one of those dishes I’ve been meaning to try out for a while now, but never got around to it because it always seemed easier to just boil and mash the potatoes I had.

On Sunday, I stumbled upon the recipe for these yummy-lookin’ cookies which go by the delightful name of “Fluffernutter”, and they had me at “three ingredients”.

And then you walk to the fridge, open it, and remember why you never actually eat anything healthy for breakfast: It’s just too much darn work. Continue reading
