    Not only are these potatoes so easy to make, but they can either be oven-baked or cooked in the air fryer.

    How do you make Hasselback potatoes?

    The Ingredients

    • Mini potatoes– I prefer using mini Yukon gold potatoes, but any small starchy potatoes can be used.
    • Olive oil– To crisp the edges and exterior of the potatoes.
    • Salt and pepper– To taste.
    • Vegan butter– To drizzle onto the potatoes halfway through the baking process!

    The Instructions

    Start by washing your potatoes before patting them dry completely. Next, toss the whole potatoes in the olive oil until coated. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the potatoes crossways, ensuring there is at least a 1/4 inch from the base. Place the potatoes onto a lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake at 200C/400F for 45-50 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and drizzle with the melted vegan butter. Place back in the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes.
