Thank you all for trying these and your feed back. I was asked the other day about the size of potato to ensure an even cooking .
I use Middle finger long potatoes that are about the with of a thumb and the hight of 3/4 of a thumb.
This dish originates from Sweden , the potatoes are named after the town Hasselbaken.
I ate them when visiting as a student.
If you like roast , fried or twice baked potatoes you propably will love them.
Sweden has a wonderful cuisine.
:hungry :ohyeaah
