Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes

Ingredients

Medium Sized Potatoes-2
Olive Oil- 2 tbsp
Garlic Paste-1 tsp
Salt-1/2 tsp (or to taste)
Dried Oregano Leaves-1/2 tsp
Black Pepper-1/2 tsp

Directions

Infuse olive oil with garlic paste, salt, oregano leaves and black pepper. Let this mixture stand for 20 minutes. You may keep it for longer time as it will give more time for spices to infuse their flavor and aroma in olive oil. Also, Italian seasoning can be used.

Wash and peel the potato. Slice the potato horizontally such that the cut is not completely through.

Dip it cold water to prevent discoloration. Repeat the process with other potato. You may skip peeling the potatoes if the outer covering is thin.

Set the air fryer for preheating at 350F degree for 5 minutes. Take out the potatoes from the water and dry them using kitchen towel. Brush 3/4th of the garlic infused olive oil onto it using a silicon brush.

Once the air fryer is preheated, transfer the potatoes in the air fryer’s basket and cook for 20 minutes at 350F degree.

After 20 minutes, take the basket out of air fryer and rub the remaining olive oil onto it.

Bake for another 10 minutes or more at 350F degree till the potatoes turn crispy golden brown.
