Description

Easy Air Fryer Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and stuffed with melted cheese, making a quick, flavorful, and irresistible 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 4 medium Russet potatoes.
  • 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 4 tablespoons butter, ensuring it gets into the slices. Sprinkle them with g1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, again making sure the seasoning gets between the slices.
  • Preheat your air fryer temperature to 390 degrees F (200°C). Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket and set cook time for 30-40 minutes or until they start to soften and open up.
  • Remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Insert slices of 8-10 slices cheddar cheese into the cuts of each potato.
  • 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 1 teaspoon parsley or 1 teaspoon chives Serve hot, with sour cream if desired.
