Crispy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes:

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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. 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.
5. Optional: Add Parmesan Cheese:
   • If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool slightly.
   • Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
