Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are an elegant and crispy take on baked potatoes. Thin slices allow the butter, herbs, and seasonings to infuse every bite, creating a golden, flavorful dish perfect as a side or a main.
Recipe
Ingredients (Serves 4):
- 4 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon gold)
- 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme or rosemary
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes.
- Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks.
- Carefully slice the potatoes thinly (about 1/8 inch apart), stopping just before cutting through to create a “fan” effect.
- Season the potatoes:
- Brush the potatoes generously with olive oil or melted butter.
- Sprinkle garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper evenly over the potatoes.
- Gently fan out the slices to ensure seasoning reaches between the cuts.
- Air fry the potatoes:
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (180°C).
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring space between them.
- Air fry for 20-25 minutes, brushing with more butter/oil halfway through for extra crispiness.
- Add finishing touches:
- Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking for a cheesy crust.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
- Serve:
- Serve the Hasselback potatoes warm with sour cream, chives, or any preferred toppings.
