News to me that it's Swedish, i always thought it was German or Swiss.

I cut the potatoes in half, place them between two cutting boards cut side down and make as many cuts as I can be bothered with a sharp knife.

Edit: Wikipedia agrees with you.

Origins

Hasselback potatoes may have been created in 1953 by Leif Elisson, a trainee chef at Hasselbacken restaurant on Djurgården, Stockholm.[5]

However, there is a recipe for "Oven Fried Potatoes (Hasselback Potatoes )" in the 1929 "Prinsessornas kokbok" (The cookbook of Princesses) by Jenny Åkerström,[6] leading to some question as to whether the recipe does in fact originate at the restaurant.
