Equipment
- Air Fryer
- Cutting Board
- Sharp Knife
- Measuring Spoons
- Spray Bottle
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes about 1.5 inches long
- Olive oil spray
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Start by washing the baby potatoes thoroughly under running water. Scrub away any dirt, as you’ll want the skin to be clean and ready for roasting.
Step 2: Make Hasselback Cuts
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice each potato about ¼ inch apart, making sure not to cut all the way through. You want the bottom of the potato to stay intact so that the slices stay connected.
Step 3: Season and Oil
- Place the cut potatoes on your cutting board and lightly spray them with olive oil. Ensure each cut gets a bit of oil to help with crisping. After spraying, sprinkle the kosher salt evenly over the potatoes, allowing the flavor to seep into the cuts.
Step 4: Air Fry the Potatoes
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness. The potatoes should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- Once done, carefully remove the potatoes from the air fryer. Let them cool slightly before serving. You can garnish them with fresh herbs or additional seasoning if desired. Dig in and enjoy the delightful textures and flavors!
Notes
- Use baby potatoes about 1.5 inches long for even cooking and best texture.
- Do not cut all the way through the potatoes to keep slices connected and hold the shape.
- Store prepared potatoes in the fridge before air frying to save time later.
