Hasselback potatoes are always a hit...

... at home or on the road - easy to make, just slide the potatoes as you see in the image (just not all the way through), and cook using your favorite appliance (oven in your rig, or a grillin' appliance with a lid). We simply threw these into the oven with salt, pepper, and cheese

We love meatloaf in the grill! We actually smoke it in a Traeger using cherry pellets for a delicate, but noticeably smoky flavor

Brinkman makes a meatloaf basket that would be ideal. I don't have one, but one day I'll pull the trigger.

My family prefers when I coat liberally with seasalt, after coating with the butter/olive oil mixture. Also I re-coat after about 30 minutes in the oven. They start to fan by that time and it helps to drizzle into the folds.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I prefer to set them into a cast iron fry pan for baking in the oven. My mother always did them that way.

I have made these before and man are they yummy!!!

We call them "Tater Fans" and just put a pencil down on backside of potato so as not to slice all the way through. Usually pour some Italian Dressing on them then ad "whatever you like" and bake them as described above. Yummy!

They're great without the cheese too. A drizzle of EVOO and sea salt is nice too.

What temp for the oven and how long do you cook them?

400F for about an hour. Added the cheese about 5 minutes before the end

Nice idea.

I read that if you push a wooden skew through the length of the potato you can slice the potato without cutting all the way through accidentally.
