No Hassle potatoes?
You may not want to try to Hassle the Hoff, but I promise you, you are going to want to try Hassleback potatoes. These are easy, tasty, and make a great presentation. This is a good one to keep in your pocket for any meal, not just special occasions. I mean look at that beauty (insert potato here). Its crispy skin and creamy flesh is just the thing to get anyone’s attention, right?
“I may have dated women that weren’t as beautiful as that Hassleback”- not a direct quote from the Hoff
