🥔🧀 Air Fryer Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes with Taste Merchant Mediterranean Seasoning 🧀🥔

Get ready to enjoy a dish that combines crispy perfection with gooey cheesiness! These Air Fryer Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes are a delightful side dish that will have you coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!).

Plus, they’re made healthier by using the air fryer, achieving that lovely crisp without the fat and calories of traditional deep frying.

🥔🧀 Air Fryer Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes
Ingredients:

4 large potatoes

Olive oil

Taste Merchant Mediterranean Seasoning (for that extra flavour!)

125g grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)

Salt and pepper

Instructions:

Preheat your air fryer to 180°C/360°F for 5 minutes.

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris. Leave the skin on for added texture and flavour and cut in halves.

Place potato on a cutting board and make thin slices across the potato, about 3mm apart, without cutting all the way through.

Drizzle olive oil over the potatoes, making sure to get it between the slices.

Sprinkle Taste Merchant Mediterranean Seasoning over the potatoes for a burst of Mediterranean flavors.

Air fry the potatoes for about 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking.

Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the air fryer.

Sprinkle your favorite grated cheese over the potatoes and let the air fryer work its magic. In no time, you’ll have a cheesy, gooey, and yummy side dish.

Enjoy 😉
