    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

    I recently made a spiral potato recipe, that is very similar to hasselback potatoes.

    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 potatoes. However, cooking time will differ as they are softer.

    Store leftover hasselback potatoes in an air -tight container in refrigerator for 2-3 days. Cook them in a preheated air fryer for 5 minutes at 190C/375F

    Always heat your food before serving.
