Air Fryer Hassleback Potatoes on a plate

Hassleback potatoes are one of those recipes that look super impressive but are actually quite simple to make. With an air fryer, you can cut time and effort even more.

Potatoes are such a versatile and delicious side dish, but hassle-back potatoes add a special touch to any meal. The slices in the potatoes crisped up with the butter and cheese provide a unique texture and flavor.

Here’s how to make air fryer hassle-back potatoes:

Ingredients:

4 medium potatoes (any kind will do)
¼ cup butter, melted
½ Tsp salt
½ Tsp black pepper
¼ cup parmasan cheese

Instructions:

Preheat your air fryer to 350°F.

Wash and dry the potatoes, using chopsticks, and slice the potatoes lengthwise into ¼-inch slices (make sure you don’t cut all the way through).

Place the potatoes in the air fryer, using a pasty brush, and brush the half the melted butter over the potatoes.

Place the potatoes in your preheated air fryer basket and cook for 45-50 minutes at 350°F

Halfway through the cooking brush on more butter and top with parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

Once the potatoes are golden and crisp, serve as a side dish or enjoy as a snack!

Forget fussy, time-consuming potato recipes – now you can make incredibly delicious potatoes in your air fryer! Our hassleback potatoes are deliciously crispy on the outside and soft in the middle.

Recipe Tips:

Make sure your slices are really thin so they can cook fully while still giving that amazing texture on top!

If you want an even crispier result, add a few minutes of extra cooking time after brushing them with butter before adding the parmesan cheese topping – this will give those slices an amazingly crunchy texture!
