Croque Monsieur Hasselback Potatoes

By jenlin

Ingredients

• 7 7 7 medium potatoes
• 1 1 1 tbsp oil
• 1 1 1 tbsp salt
• 10 10 10 slices swiss cheese
• 10 10 10 slices ham
• 2 2 2 cups bechamel/white sauce
• 2 2 2 cups grated swiss cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Begin by slicing parallel lines down the length of each potato, using two wooden spoons as guides to prevent the knife cleaving your tater in half.
Rub each one with oil and sprinkle with salt, then bake for at least an hour, until they begin to fan out and look all sexy.
Remove from the oven and leave until cool enough to handle.
Stick slices of emmental and ham in each alternate slit in the potato then cover with bechamel sauce and more emmental.
Bake for a further 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
