My spare time is quite often dominated by temporary niche obsessions. What can I say, I like learning new things.

A while back, this obsession was making tasty hasselback potatoes. But the thing is... every time I was almost done perfectly slicing a potato, I would invariably cut through the whole thing...

I get it, just get "good" right? Or... you let your design & engineering brain run away with it, waste a whole weekend, and design a tool to do the job.

Turns out my solution is kinda different from what others have been doing. (The benefit of skipping research I suppose.) So I decided to publish it then.

It's downloadable for free from Makerworld if you have a 3d printer. And when enough people keep downloading I can keep coming up with solutions to problems that don't REALY need solving.

#Hasselback potatoes get their name from the restaurant #Hasselbacken in #Stockholm. Hasselback is the Swedish word for "hazel slope", as the restaurant was located near a thicket of hazel trees in #Djurgården. In 1953, student chef Leif Elison served the dish, and it was a hit.

The entire way through making Hasselback potatoes for dinner tonight I was convinced they were called Hasselhoff potatoes and I was thinking, well, ok, I guess they do look a *little* bit like some kind of futuristic car. Turns out it's definitely Hasselback not Hasselhoff.
