This Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes recipe offers a crispy, golden exterior and tender inside, infused with garlic butter and fresh parsley. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer for a quick and flavorful side dish that pairs well with any meal.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon gold)

Butter Mixture

  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Place two knives or chopsticks on either side of each potato to guide your slices. Slice the potatoes thinly, about 3 to 4 mm apart, stopping when you reach the knives to avoid cutting all the way through. Repeat for all four potatoes and set aside.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are fully mixed.
  3. Brush Potatoes with Butter: Using a pastry brush, carefully coat the tops and inside the potato slices with the garlic butter mixture. Be gentle to keep the potatoes intact. Reserve any leftover butter mixture for later.
  4. Air Fry the Potatoes – First Stage: Place the potatoes upright in the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 375°F (190°C). Air fry the potatoes for 10 minutes to start cooking and crisping the edges.
  5. Apply More Butter Mixture: After 10 minutes, carefully brush the potatoes with the remaining butter mixture. If you have no leftover mixture, melt an additional tablespoon of butter to apply.
  6. Air Fry the Potatoes – Final Stage: Continue air frying the potatoes at 375°F for another 15 minutes, or until they are tender throughout and have a crispy edge on the outside.
  7. Serve and Garnish: Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and sprinkle them with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your perfectly cooked Hasselback potatoes!

Notes

  • Use knives or chopsticks as slicing guides to avoid cutting potatoes all the way through.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake these potatoes in a conventional oven at 400°F for 45-50 minutes, brushing occasionally with butter.
  • Russet potatoes yield a crispier texture, while Yukon Gold potatoes offer a creamier bite.
  • Adjust garlic and seasoning amounts to taste if desired.
  • Serve these as a side dish for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as part of a comforting meal.
