How to make this Recipe:
- Cut potatoes
Place a potato on a cutting board between two wooden spoons or chopsticks. Nestle a potato between them and, using a sharp knife, slice them into very thin slices. The wooden spoon handles or chopsticks will stop your knife from cutting the potato all the way through. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- Add to air fryer
In a small bowl combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Place the potatoes at the bottom of your air fryer basket and brush generously with the olive oil mixture all around.
- Cook and enjoy
Cook the potatoes in a basket style air fryer at 380°F for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes: Frequently Asked Questions
Hasselback potatoes got their name from the restaurant in Stockholm, Swedish where they were invented. The restaurant was called Hasselbacken and these potatoes were first served there in 1953.
I found that using the right kind of potato for this recipe was key. The Russet potato was the best choice because of its starchy flesh and creamy texture. If you choose to leave the skin on, make sure your potatoes are washed well before cooking. I like to leave the skin on because the potato skin has more nutrients than the interior of the potato.
Yes! Slice the potatoes and store them in cold water (covered) in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Dry thoroughly before air frying. You can also reheat them in the air fryer for 5–7 minutes.
