Ingredients

4 medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, washed and dried
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp fresh rosemary, finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sour cream (for serving, optional)
2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

1

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2

Place each of 4 washed and dried medium Yukon Gold or russet potatoes between two chopsticks or wooden spoons (to prevent cutting all the way through), and carefully make thin slices (about 1/8 inch apart) across the width of each potato.
3

In a small bowl, mix together 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
4

Place the sliced potatoes in the air fryer basket and brush them thoroughly with half of the butter-herb mixture, making sure to get some between the slices.
5

Air fry for 20 minutes, then brush the potatoes with most of the remaining butter-herb mixture, reserving a small amount for later.
6

Continue air frying for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside when pierced with a fork.
7

In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes.
8

Remove the potatoes from the air fryer and brush with the remaining butter-herb mixture.
9

Serve hot, garnished with 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives and a dollop of 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving, optional) if desired.

Questions

Can I make Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes dairy-free?

Yes. The dairy in this entry is 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving, optional). Swap the butter for olive oil where it melts, or a plant-based block butter where it is creamed; the cheese for a plant-based melting cheese (expect a milder flavor); the sour cream for thick coconut yogurt with a squeeze of lemon. The richness shifts slightly, but the method does not change.

How long does Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. Re-crisp leftovers in the air fryer at 350 F for three to four minutes; the microwave softens the coating.

Can I halve or double Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. Doubled, air-fry in batches; a crowded basket steams instead of crisping.
