FAQ
They're a variation of baked potatoes in which slits are cut into the potatoes and stuffed with butter before baking.
They're named after the restaurant where they were invented. They were first made at Haccelbacken, a restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden in the 1940s.
Traditional baked potatoes are easily frozen because the skin protects the flesh beneath. Because these potatoes are cooked with slits, the flesh is exposed and unprotected.
