Hasselback potatoes in the airfryer are an easy and quick way to prepare classic, elegant, and crispy potatoes. The airfryer creates a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside soft and tender. This Swedish potato dish is perfect for festive occasions or as a side for a variety of meals.
Making Hasselback potatoes in the airfryer saves time and effort, as the airfryer reduces cooking time while making the potatoes extra crispy with less oil. The circulating hot air ensures even cooking. This method is ideal if you want to prepare a classic side dish quickly and easily.
Slice the potatoes:
Wash the potatoes and place them on a cutting board. Make thin slices in the potatoes without cutting all the way through. You can place the potato in a spoon or between two wooden chopsticks to prevent the knife from going all the way down.
Season the potatoes:
Brush the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and optional herbs like rosemary or thyme. The oil helps the potatoes crisp up beautifully in the airfryer.
Cook in the airfryer:
Place the seasoned potatoes in the airfryer basket. Cook at 180°C (356°F) for about 25–30 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. You can brush them with additional oil halfway through cooking for an even crispier result.
Serve and enjoy:
Remove the Hasselback potatoes from the airfryer and serve immediately with toppings like sour cream, grated cheese, or fresh herbs.
For an even more delicious result, you can add butter between the slices or sprinkle grated cheese towards the end of cooking, allowing it to melt beautifully over the potatoes. Try experimenting with different seasonings, such as garlic powder or paprika, to add variety to the flavor.
