Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Bacon and Cheese Hasselback Potatoes
Hasselback potatoes sliced into thin fans, tucked with bacon and cheese, then air fried until the edges crisp and the center turns fluffy. They look impressive and taste like a loaded baked potato.
Serve them as a side with steak or chicken, or as a meal with a green salad. This bacon-and-cheese version is the loaded take on the classic.
Ingredients
Instructions
Slice
Cut thin slits across each potato about ⅛ inch apart, without cutting all the way through. Setting the potato between two chopsticks helps.
Season
Brush with oil and season with salt and pepper, working it between the slices.
Air fry
Preheat to 400°F and cook for 25 minutes.
Stuff
Tuck bacon and strips of cheese into the slits.
Finish
Cook another 5 minutes until the cheese melts. Serve with sour cream and chives.
- Chopsticks or wooden spoon handles prevent cutting through.
- Add the cheese late so it melts without burning.
- Check for tenderness by piercing the center with a knife.
