Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Scrub your potatoes clean, pat them dry, and leave the skins on – they add flavor!
Step 2: Hasselback Magic
Carefully slice each potato lengthwise, making thin, even cuts but stopping short of slicing all the way through. Think of it like creating an accordion effect.
Step 3: Season & Sizzle
Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, ensuring it gets into those lovely cuts. Generously sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
Place the potatoes in your preheated air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Step 5: Top it Off (Optional)
During the last few minutes of cooking, add shredded cheese for a gooey finish. Once cooked, garnish with green onions and a dollop of sour cream – yum!
Keto & Low-Carb Options:
- Cauliflower Hasselbacks: Substitute russet potatoes with cauliflower florets. Adjust cooking time to 15-20 minutes.
- Healthier Fats: Use avocado oil instead of olive oil.
- Keto-Friendly Toppings: Try grated Parmesan cheese or bacon bits.
Tips for Success:
- Use potatoes of similar size for even cooking.
- A sharp knife makes clean, even cuts easier.
- Adjust cooking time based on potato thickness; thicker potatoes need longer cooking.
- Get creative with seasonings! Garlic powder, paprika, or herbs add extra flavor.
Conclusion:
These air fryer Hasselback potatoes are a simple, delicious side or even a satisfying main course. The air fryer creates perfectly crispy potatoes with fluffy insides every time. Give this recipe a try – you won’t be disappointed!
