    Continue to air fry at 200 degree C (390 F) for 15-16 mins or until the potatoes are cooked. Bigger potatoes will need few more minutes(5-7 minutes more). Serve hot.

    While picking these up from the air fryer, be careful as they might break off,I prefer to use a turner or a spatula to pick these up.

    Top tips

    Few things to note

    1. The air fryer has to be pre heated. Treat it just like your oven.
    2. Choose potatoes that are long in shape not round and are good for roasting, I prefer russet one, here in Australia I use Royal dutch cream/purple/royal blue
    3. Once cooked, use a spatula to pick them up, else they will break.

    Variation

    Vegetarians can garnish air fryer hasselback potatoes with cheese while vegans can use vegan cheese or garlic chives for garnish.

    Substitution

    You can make these hassleback potatoes using sweet potato. However, cooking time will differ as they are softer.

    Storage

    Store it in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Always heat your food before serving.

    Food safety

    Always reheat your leftovers. You can air fry at 200 deg C for 2-3 mins instead of using a microwave.
