Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes

With just a little extra time and effort you can turn ordinary baked potatoes into something extraordinary. Perfect for holidays and special occasions or just because, these garlic butter potatoes will be the hit of the dinner. The little cuts open up beautifully as they cook in the air fryer and the garlic butter oozes into every nook and granny. Topped with herbs and salt these potatoes are insanely delicious. Your whole family is going to love them.

Hasselback potatoes are simply an ordinary potato thinly slices in such a way that when they bake the slices separate and create a fan like appearance. This allows for butter, herbs and seasonings to sink deep into the cracks and throughout the potatoes. They are crispy, flavorful and super impressive! Serve them up with Slow Cooker Beef Tips, Cast Iron Pork Chops or Instant Pot Chicken.

Ingredients for Garlic Butter Potatoes

I love the extra freshness that comes from the fresh herbs, if you don’t have them you can used dried. Use half the amount of dried as you would for fresh, as dried will have concentrated flavor.

  • Potatoes: About 4-5 Russets.
  • Salt and Pepper: Add more or less to taste.
  • Butter: Butter and potatoes just go together.
  • Fresh Parsley, Thyme and Rosemary: Incredible fresh flavor.
  • Garlic: Mince the garlic for best flavor.

Making Air Fryer Hasselbacks

The hardest part of these potatoes is waiting for them to cook!

  1. Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes. Slice the potatoes thinly leaving a half inch base at the bottom.
  2. Season: Salt and pepper the potatoes as desired
  3. Butter: In a small bowl combine melted butter, parsley, thyme, rosemary and garlic.
  4. Baste: Place the potatoes in the bottom of your air fryer basket. Brush the garlic herb butter along the tops of the potatoes.
  5. Bake: Cook at 360 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

How to Cut the Perfect Hasselback Potatoes

There are a couple of different ways to achieve this classic look, and there are a few tips to make it easier.

  1. Sharp knife: Make sure your knife is sharp and do not use a serrated knife. They’re not the right tool for the job
  2. Hasselback Cutter: Yes there is such a thing, and I use this one here found on Amazon.
  3. Spoons: If you don’t have a hasselback cutter never fear. Take two wooden spoons and place them on either side of your potato as you slice them. This will create a natural stop for your knife so you don’t accidently cut all the way through.
  4. Chopsticks:  These will do the same thing as the spoons. Place on either side of the potato and again it will create a natural stop for your knife.

Tips and Toppings!

These take a bit more time than regular baked potatoes but the taste and appearance is totally worth it.

  • Potatoes: Russets are the go to potatoes for this side dish. You can use golden or red potatoes too, but they will be softer, and the outsides will not crisp up as nicely.
  • To Peel or Not to Peel: It a total preference. We love the way the skin adds flavor, texture and crisps so nicely. It also houses a good portion of the nutrition in potatoes, but you can definitely peel them if you are not a potato skin person.
  • Flavor: Experiment with flavors and seasonings. You can use chili powder, Italian seasoning, and ranch or create your own mix of flavors.
  • Top it: Top these with cheese, sour cream, bacon, any of your favorite toppings or just a little bit more butter. You can eat them straight from the air fryer as well.
  • Baste it: For more intense flavor save half of your seasonings and reapply half way through the cooking time. The potatoes will have opened up some and allow for more butter goodness to seep down it.

More Air Fryer Goodness

Air frying is hands down one my most favorite ways to cook. When I can I cook it in the air fryer i will. Air frying uses circulating air to perfectly cook your food. It creates crispy golden crusts and tender juicy centers. It usually cooks food faster than in the oven or fryer. Air Frying is also more healthy than conventional methods. When “frying” in the air fryer you use less to almost no oil. It is a total win win. If you are need of some scrumptious recipes to use in yours, you have to try some of these tried and true.

We love fish at our house, especially when it tastes this amazing! More favorites include Fish and Chips, Baja Tacos and this Salmon.

Air Fryer Cod Filets

Air frying fish is one of the best ways to cook this delicate tender meat.  The air fryer basket is perfect, it allows the circulating air to cook the outside and the inside while keeping the fish intact. So many times I have lost chunks down between the slats of a grill or they stick to the pan. Air frying gives you delicate delightful fish that looks and tastes better than any restaurant. The panko breading is perfectly seasoned and the cheese adds a touch of saltiness and nuttiness. It’s so easy to make and tastes just as delicious!

Air fried parmesan cod is the perfect dinner choice. It has a light mild flavor and it is good for you. Serve it up with some rice, vegetables, or potatoes and a nice salad. Perfect for a busy weekday or a nice weekend dinner. Put this air fryer cod in your recipe rotation.

Ingredients for Parmesan Cod

Fresh and basic, this Cod could not be any easier or taste any better! It is so good!

  • Cod Fillets: You can use fresh or frozen.
  • Salt and Pepper: Season just to taste.
  • Flour: All purpose or unbleached will work.
  • Eggs: Large lightly beaten.
  • Salt: Adds flavor
  • Panko: I do not recommend breadcrumbs but they will work.
  • Parmesan: Grated will stick best to the fish.
  • Bay Seasoning: A classic flavoring for fish.
  • Garlic Powder: Adds more flavor.
  • Olive oil spray: Use this only if you need it.

Making Crispy Air Fryer Cod

Super easy parmesan cod is going to become a family favorite!

  1. Cod: Pat the cod dry and salt and pepper.
  2. Breading Station: Create a breading station for the fish. In one bowl add the flour. In the second whisk together the eggs and salt. Then in the last bowl add the Panko, parmesan cheese, old bay seasoning, and garlic powder.
  3. Flour: First dip the cod in the flour.
  4. Egg: Then in the egg mixture.
  5. Panko: And lastly in the panko.
  6. Air Fryer: Spray the bottom of your basket with olive oil. Place the fish in the basket of your air fryer.
  7. Bake: Cook at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Carefully flip the fish. Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees.

Tips For Dipping and Breading Cod

Breading any food can be messy. Here is sure fire way to at least keep it manageable.

  • One hand: With one hand dip the cod into the flour mixture and coat evenly. Using the same hand dip it into the egg mixture, shake off any excess egg.  Then drop into the panko mixture.
  • The Other Hand:  Use your other dry hand to press the panko into the cod evenly and all over. Coat it well. Then you place in the air fryer basket. Repeat.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Parmesan Cod

I love cooking with an air fryer for lots of reasons but one of them is that it is hard to mess up your food. Air frying makes it easy to make luscious meals, every single time.

  • Don’t Over Crowd: Given the fish space to breath, if they are too close together, they will steam instead of “fry”
  • Cod: Use a good quality cod fillet. Fresh or frozen is fine. You don’t them too thin or the fish won’t have time to crisp up before it starts to dry out. Thaw frozen cod according to package directions. Pat both dry with a paper towel to remove any extra moisture. This will help the crust crisp nicely.
  • Oil: Using oil is optional but can help it become crispy. Use an oil only spray. Not a non-stick spray, such as pam, they have additives that will ruin your air fryer.
  • Panko: Panko bread crumbs are larger and absorb less moisture so they will produce the best crust. It will be crispy and golden. Regular breadcrumbs will not give you the same results.
  • Fish: This will work with any type of white fish and turn out amazing. Think snapper, tilapia, bass and haddock.

What to Serve Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Cod with

This crispy cod is awesome all by itself but you can add to it as you like.

  • Sauce: Tartar sauce is a fan favorite. Malt vinegar, ranch, yum yum sauce, or a squeeze of lemon might be all you need.
  • Use it in: Use this fried cod for fish tacos, mix into a salad, or make a fish sandwich to remember.

How to Store Cod Filets

Keep leftovers in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or till heated through. It won’t have the same crunchiness but it will still be good. Crispy Air Fryer Cod is best right out of the air fryer.

More Seafood Favorites

We love a good seafood recipe at our house. Even the kids love it.  Fish is a healthy protein that is good to put in your mix of recipes on a weekly basis. Some seafood is rich like lobster and some is mild and light like shrimp. Whatever you prefer to eat I have a recipe for you. Here are a few tried and true to get you started.

Easy Salsa Verde

Salsa Verde is fresh, spicy and way better than anything you will find in a jar. Super easy and quick, whip it up for a party in no time!

I love a good salsa, especially when they are homemade and fresh! If you love salsa you have to try these Restaurant Style, Blender Salsa and Mango Lime Avocado Salsa!

Fresh homemade salsa verde.

Salsa Verde Recipe

Do not be intimidated by roasting tomatillos, when I say this is an easy salsa verde, I mean it. This is simple, delicious and worth the bit of extra work. You are going to love the fresh flavors that come together in this salsa. Roasting the tomatillos brings depth and richness. And because it is not jarred, there is no weird aftertaste to this incredible salsa. It is going to become a staple in your household!

Salsa Verde is a green based salsa thus the name verde, which means green. Made with tomatillos and peppers give it its distinct color and flavor. It has a distinctly different tangy zesty flavor versus red salsas. It is often a more mild tasting salsa, but you can always add more kick if you need to.  Use this salsa to top Navajo Tacos, Chicken Fajitas, and Homemade Empanadas. You can also just serve it as an appetizer with corn chips.

Ingredients for Tomatillos Salsa

Look for tomatillos in the produce section near the jalapeños. They will have a husk on them that is easy to remove.

  • Tomatillos: Look for firm ones that are not squishy, wrinkled or blemished.
  • Small Onion: Roughly chop the onion.
  • Jalapeño Pepper: For more spice leave in the seeds, otherwise remove and chop.
  • Garlic Cloves: Adds extra flavor and heat.
  • Cilantro: Fresh and vibrant, cilantro is a classic herb used in Mexican cooking.
  • Salt to Taste: Don’t skip the salt, it helps brighten the flavors.

How to Make Green Salsa!

The longest part of making this salsa is roasting your tomatillos, and even that does not take that long. You will love the deep flavor in this salsa verde that comes from roasting!

  1. Tomatillos: Husk the tomatillos and rinse. Lay on a baking sheet. Heat the broiler to high and roast for about 10 minutes, turning half way through. Remove from oven and let cool.
  2. Combine: In a food processor or blender add the tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, garlic, cilantro and salt to taste.
  3. Blend: Pulse until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve as desired.

Tips for Incredible Salsa Verde

You and your family will love the mellow flavor of this salsa, you can add or delete according to your tastes.

  • Jalapeño: Get more of that roasted flavor by roasting your jalapeños with the tomatillos. If you want a bit more spice leave the seeds in your peppers or just remove part of them.
  • Tomatillos: Pick ones that are roughly the same size so they roast at the same rate. Be sure to peel back the husk before buying and check for that nice bright green color and smooth firm skin. Once peeled be sure to rinse them. Unlike tomatoes, you can store tomatillos in the fridge which will help them keep longer.
  • Thin it: If your salsa needs thinning add a Tablespoon or two of water.
  • Do not over process: This salsa shines when it is a bit chunky. Do not puree, unless you want to.
  • Better With Time:  Salsa Verde is amazing fresh, but it is divine when the flavors have time to really meld together too. Make this at least a day ahead for delightful flavor.

Variation of Homemade Salsa Verde

There are different ways to achieve the incredible flavor of a salsa verde, which you prefer is up to you.

  • Roast: You can roast your tomatillos in a pan on the stove over medium high heat. You want a good char on the skins, but not burned.
  • Boil: Another way to cook your tomatillos is to boil them. Place in a large saucepan and cover with water. Boil for 5 minutes then drain.
  • Sugar: You can 1/2-1 teaspoon of sugar to help balance the acidity from the tomatillos if you desire. Do not worry, you cannot taste it.
  • Canned Tomatillos: Yes you can use canned, you won’t need to char them and the flavor will be incredible but slightly different.
  • Boil it: To intensify the flavors once you have blended it place in a large pan or saucepan. Bring it to a boil then turn it down and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Let cool before serving.
