These Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are so easy to make in the air fryer and they make a perfect side dish for your meal.
You can cook these hasselback potatoes in the air fryer in just 30 minutes and they turn out so tender in the center, with a super crunchy exterior.
If you’re a fan of potatoes and haven’t tried these yet, you’re definitely missing out. The best part about potatoes is that they have two distinct textures that go so well together. The hasselback potato is the perfect way to serve potatoes because of that. They get soft and squishy on the inside, but really crispy on the outside.
You don’t need any special tools to make these potatoes. All you really need is a sharp knife, so you can cut even slits in the potato, without cutting all the way through.
You can use any size potato you want for this, but I prefer a smaller sized potato. One that’s about 3 inches around is perfect. The thicker it is in the center, the longer it will need to cook.
I also find that a smaller potato is best for serving as a side dish.
