AIR FRYER HASSELBACK POTATOES RECIPE
Ingredients:
– 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet are ideal)
– 2 tablespoons of melted butter or olive oil
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 2 tablespoons of fresh rosemary leaves (or your preferred herb)
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by setting your air fryer to a temperature of 380°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Potatoes: Thoroughly wash and scrub the potatoes, keeping the skin on for enhanced texture and flavor. Position a potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons. Carefully make thin, even cuts across the potato, ensuring you do not slice all the way through. This technique creates the signature Hasselback appearance.
3. Season the Potatoes: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter or olive oil, minced garlic, and fresh rosemary leaves. Brush this aromatic mixture over the potatoes, ensuring it seeps between the slices. Generously season with salt and black pepper.
4. Air Fry to Achieve Crispiness: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for approximately 30-35 minutes, checking at the halfway mark. The potatoes should develop a crispy exterior while remaining tender inside.
5. Optional Cheese Garnish: If desired, add grated Parmesan cheese on top of the potatoes during the final 5-10 minutes of cooking to create a delightful cheesy crust.
6. Serve and Relish: Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer basket. Serve immediately and enjoy the crispy, flavorful delight.
Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes make for an impressive side dish that elevates any meal. They are not only delicious but also simple to prepare, making them a wonderful addition to your cooking repertoire. Enjoy your culinary experience!
