Description

Air Fryer Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes are so great; my kids really loved them. I jazzed them up today with some cut pieces of cheese and added some butter and spices for a great and easy air fryer side dish.

Ingredients 

  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted, unsalted
  • 8-10 slices cheddar cheese, cut into slices that fit in between the slots
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chives, fresh
  • 1 teaspoon parsley, fresh

Instructions

  • Start by washing and drying the Russet potatoes. Ensure they are clean since you'll be eating the skins.
  • Carefully make slices across each potato, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through. A tip is to place chopsticks or wooden spoons on either side of the potato while slicing to prevent the knife from cutting all the way down.
  • Brush the potatoes generously with melted butter, ensuring it gets into the slices. Sprinkle them with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper, again making sure the seasoning gets between the slices.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for about 30-40 minutes or until they start to soften and open up. The exact time may vary depending on the size of the potatoes and the efficiency of your air fryer.
  • Remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Insert slices of cheese into the cuts of each potato. You can use a mix of different cheeses for varied flavor.
  • Return the potatoes to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are cooked through.
  • Once done, remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Serve hot, with sour cream if desired.
