Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes

Preheat the Air Fryer Preheat your BELLA 4QT Slim Air Fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Prepare the Potatoes

• Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry.

• Place each potato between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. Using a sharp knife, slice thin cuts into the potato about 1/8-inch apart, stopping just before you cut through the bottom. The spoons or chopsticks will help prevent slicing all the way through.

Season the Potatoes

• In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

• Gently fan the potato slices apart and brush the olive oil mixture generously over and between the slices.

Air Fry the Potatoes

• Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t touch for proper airflow.

• Cook at 375°F for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and golden and the centers are tender. Flip the potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.

Add the Butter

• During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the tops of the potatoes with melted butter for extra flavor and crispiness.

Serve and Garnish

• Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley, grated Parmesan, or chili flakes as desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
