Hasselbakt, hasselbakte or hasselback potatoes?

Many have probably called the potatoes "hazelnut baked potatoes", but the correct name is hasselback, but most people probably understand what is meant regardless of how it is pronounced.

Why are they called hasselback potatoes?

The name of the dish supposedly dates back to the 18th century from a Swedish restaurant called "hasselbacken" in Stockholm. However, it was not until the 1950s that the cooking method became popular because it made the potatoes cook faster - and the result was truly delicious, no doubt.
