Crisp, golden hasselback potatoes in the air fryer, – incredibly easy and the best result every time.
My favourite potato, – ever since I was little.
Cooking hasselback potatoes in the air fryer is simply so easy. Brush them with a little oil or cooking spray, sprinkle with salt, – and into the air fryer they go.
They turn wonderfully crisp and chewy at the edges, – and soft and creamy in the middle, mmmm.
I usually season them with nothing but salt, – but season them however you prefer. Garlic powder, herb salt, paprika, rosemary, thyme or a potato seasoning mix all work well – it is entirely up to you.
How to cut hasselback potatoes – Hasselback potatoes in the air fryer
When making hasselback potatoes, the key is to cut as many thin slices into the potatoes as possible, without, of course, cutting all the way through.
I always lay the potatoes between the handles of 2 wooden spoons and cut down until the knife meets the spoons. That way I can be sure not to cut through the potatoes, while still giving them nice deep cuts, which is what helps make them so crisp and good.
