Food for Thought listener David sent me a recipe for something he calls "Splayed Potatoes," which not only looked good to eat but fun to make. Though I have no doubt that he arrived at his method independently, he was beaten to the spud by Hasselback potatoes , basically the same thing, invented at Sweden's Hasselbacken restaurant. I sent David's recipe off to Nancy Leson for kitchen testing, results pictured above. From there we were off to the potato races.
