AIR FRYER HASSELBACK POTATOES
These Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are a fantastic side dish for your supper since they are so simple to prepare in the air fryer and they are also very straightforward to make.
Only thirty minutes is all that is required to cook these hasselback potatoes in an air fryer, and the end result is potatoes that are extremely tender in the middle while having a very crunchy exterior.
There is no question that you are missing out on something if you are a fan of potatoes and you have not yet tried them. The best thing about potatoes is that they actually have two different textures, both of which complement each other quite well. As a result of this, the hasselback potato is the ideal method for serving potatoes. When they are cooked, the interior becomes mushy and soft, while the exterior becomes quite crisp.
In order to prepare these potatoes, you do not require any specialised equipment. To cut even slices in the potato without cutting all the way through, all you actually need is a knife that is sharp enough to do the job.
For this recipe, you can use any size potato you choose, although I personally prefer a potato that is on the smaller side. One that is approximately three inches in diameter is ideal. When it is thicker in the middle, the amount of time it will take to cook will increase.
One more thing that I’ve discovered is that the ideal potato to use as a side dish is a smaller one.
Components
- 2 potatoes of a medium size
- a half tablespoon of butter that has been melted
- tablespoon and a half of olive oil
- One-fourth of a teaspoon of salt and one-eighth of a
- teaspoon of powdered black pepper
- Cloves that have been chopped and sour cream, if desired
Details to follow
- The potatoes should be washed and dried with a towel. You should use a knife that is sharp and cut the potato into ¼-inch slices, making sure not to cut all the way through the potato.
- A bowl should be used to combine the butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Incorporate the mixture into the slits and onto the potatoes using a brush.
- Make sure the air fryer is preheated to 350 degrees Celsius (175 degrees Celsius) for three minutes. After placing the potatoes in the basket of the air fryer, allow them to cook for fifteen minutes. Continue boiling the potatoes for an additional 15 minutes after brushing them with the mixture once more (extending the cooking time for potatoes that are larger).
- To remove the potatoes from the air fryer, remove them. Coat with the remaining mixture and set aside. In the event that you so wish, garnish with chives and sour cream.
The wattage of each air fryer is varied, and various air fryers may cook at different rates. - The best results may need you to make adjustments to the time or the temperature.
