Crispy and Delicious Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes – The Perfect Beginner’s Recipe

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Slice the potatoes thinly, making sure to not cut all the way through (leave about 1/4-inch at the bottom). This creates the signature “Hasselback” fan effect.
Season the Potatoes:

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Drizzle the seasoned oil over the potatoes, ensuring the oil seeps into the slits. Use a brush to spread it evenly if necessary.
Air Fry the Potatoes:

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. If needed, cook them in batches.
Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through. Keep an eye on them to ensure they get crispy and golden brown.
Add the Finishing Touches:

Once the potatoes are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the air fryer.
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs on top for extra flavor.
