Ingredients

1 small Russet potato washed
2 tablespoon butter melted
1 clove garlic thinly sliced
salt

Instructions

Scrub clean, leaving the skin on. Use chopsticks or wooden spoons as a guide and slice into 1/8-inch cuts without cutting through.
Melt butter (or use olive oil) and brush generously over the potatoes. Gently fan out the slices to coat inside. Add thin garlic slices or garlic powder for extra flavor.
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F. Place potatoes in the basket with space between them. Cook for 25-30 minutes, brushing with more butter and sprinkling with salt halfway through
Once golden and crispy, remove from the air fryer. Let sit for 5 minutes, then add a final touch of salt. Garnish with parsley or parmesan if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

*The Nutritional Facts that have been calculated on this recipe are only estimates.

**If you don't have a hasselback slicing rack, try placing the potato between the handles of two parallel wooden spoons. Then using a sharp knife slice 1/8 inch cuts into the potato. I like to tape the wooden spoons onto a cutting board so that they don't slide around when slicing the potato.
