Get ready to enjoy crispy, golden Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes! With their perfectly sliced, fan-like appearance, these potatoes are not only stunning but also deliciously flavorful.
Wash the potatoes, dry them. Cut the edges of the tuber to make a cube. Place the cube on a board. On both sides, place sushi sticks. A sharp knife should be used to make non-slash cuts to the sticks in approximately 0.25-inch increments. Guide the knife strictly perpendicular to the board.
Turn the potatoes 90 degrees and continue slicing in the same manner. Place the prepared potatoes in a bowl. Dilute salt in 2 cups of water. Pour the water into the potatoes so that the liquid completely covers the vegetables. Leave the potato cubes for 15 minutes
Pat the potatoes dry in a towel. Using a silicone brush, coat the cube on all sides and in between the incisions. Sprinkle spices generously over the potatoes.
Place the potatoes cut side up in a preheated Air Fryer basket and air fry at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
Flip potatoes over and continue to cook for about 8 more minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender.
Transfer hot potatoes to serving pans or onto plates. Top with vegetables, basil leaves or hot pepper to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
Remember to grease your Air Fryer basket well with some olive oil before air frying the Hasselback potatoes. This will keep them from sticking to the basket.Also make sure you leave a bit of space between each potato to ensure even air frying.If you can’t find Russet potatoes, you could also try using red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe.Try to choose potatoes that are roughly the same size. If you have some larger potatoes, you can chop them so that they’re all roughly the same size.
