Here’s a Crispy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes recipe — golden brown on the outside, tender on the inside, with perfectly fanned slices for maximum crispiness and flavor.
🥔 Crispy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes
📝 Ingredients:
-
4 small to medium Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes
-
2–3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (or both!)
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp fresh rosemary or thyme (optional)
-
Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
-
Fresh parsley or chives (for serving)
🔪 How to Cut Hasselback Potatoes:
-
Place the potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks.
-
Slice thinly (⅛ to ¼ inch apart), cutting down until the knife hits the spoons — this stops you from slicing all the way through.
-
Fan the slices open gently with your fingers or a spoon.
🍳 Instructions:
1. Preheat Air Fryer
-
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the Potatoes
-
In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and herbs.
-
Use a brush or your hands to coat each potato, making sure the oil gets between the slices.
3. Air Fry
-
Place potatoes in the air fryer basket cut-side up, not overcrowded.
-
Air fry for 25–35 minutes, depending on size, until golden and crispy on top and fork-tender inside.
-
Baste with more oil or butter halfway through for extra crispiness.
-
4. Finish & Serve
-
Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan in the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
-
Garnish with fresh herbs and a pinch of flaky salt before serving.
🍽️ Serving Ideas:
-
Perfect with steak, roast chicken, or as a fancy side with sour cream & chives.
-
Add bacon bits or a drizzle of garlic butter for a loaded version.
