Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for rich flavor and golden finish
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder adds savory depth
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika for subtle smokiness
  • to taste salt essential for flavor
  • to taste black pepper for a hint of spice
  • 1 fresh parsley chopped for garnish, optional

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Spatula or basting brush

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  2. Using a sharp knife, carefully make deep cuts about 1/4 inch apart along the length of each potato. Be sure not to cut all the way through; you want the bottom to remain intact so the slices stay connected.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
  4. Using a spatula or basting brush, generously coat each potato with the oil mixture, making sure to get it into the slits for maximum flavor.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Once preheated, place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they have enough space for air to circulate. Cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
  6. Once cooked, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delightful Air-Fryer Hasselback Potatoes!

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best texture, freeze uncooked potatoes after par-cooking them for about 10 minutes.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to regain crispiness.
