Quick & Easy Air Fryer Parmesan Hasselback Potatoes
Regular baked potatoes are great, but Parmesan Hasselback potatoes are next level! Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and basted with melted butter, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan. This is roast potato perfection!
Ingredients
- 3 medium potatoes Yukon Gold or Russet
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil optional
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon herbs de Provence
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Slice the potatoes:
- Place a spatula or two chopsticks on either side of each potato. Carefully slice thin cuts across the top (about 2 mm thick), stopping just before the bottom so the potato stays intact.
Mix the seasoning:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, salt, garlic powder, and herbs de Provence.
Brush the potatoes:
- Using a brush, coat the potatoes with the butter mixture, making sure to get some of it between the slices.
Air fry:
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (356°F). Place the potatoes in the air fryer basket. Cook for 30–35 minutes, brushing once more with the butter mixture halfway through.
Add Parmesan:
- When the potatoes are golden and tender, sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top. Air fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts and crisps slightly.
Serve:
- Serve hot, optionally topped with a pinch of flaky salt and fresh herbs. Enjoy!
