Crispy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are a delicious and visually impressive dish that’s easy to make. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work well)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly.
- Place a potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks to prevent cutting all the way through.
- Make thin slices across the potato, about 1/8 inch apart, stopping before you cut all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
- Season the Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme.
- Brush the mixture generously over the potatoes, making sure to get some of the oil and seasoning between the slices.
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Cook the Potatoes:
- Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded.
- Air fry for 25-30 minutes, depending on the size of your potatoes. Check them halfway through and brush with more oil if needed.
- The potatoes are done when they are crispy on the edges and tender inside. You can insert a fork or skewer to check for doneness.
- Optional: Add Parmesan Cheese:
- If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
