Hasselback Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12-15 small to medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or red potatoes work well)
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) if using an oven. Alternatively, prepare your air fryer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Prepare Potatoes:
- Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Place a potato on a cutting board and use chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side to prevent cutting all the way through. Slice the potato thinly, about 1/8 inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through to keep the bottom intact. Repeat with all the potatoes.
- Season Potatoes:
- In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, melted butter, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and drizzle the mixture over them, making sure to get some seasoning in between the slices.
- Bake or Air Fry:
- Oven: Place the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. Baste with more olive oil mixture halfway through baking if desired.
- Air Fryer: Arrange the potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
- Add Cheese (Optional):
- If using Parmesan cheese, sprinkle it over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking or air frying.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven or air fryer and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve hot as a side dish or appetizer.
These Hasselback potatoes are a perfect side dish that pairs well with almost any main course. Enjoy your cooking!
