Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium russet potatoes about 200 grams each
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 190°C for 3 to 5 minutes.
  2. Combine melted butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder in a small bowl.
  3. Apply a light coating of oil to the air fryer basket to prevent sticking.
  4. Thinly slice each potato without cutting all the way through, brush the butter mixture over and between the slices, and sprinkle half of the parmesan between the layers.
  5. Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 30 to 35 minutes, brushing halfway through and adding the remaining parmesan during the final 5 minutes.
  6. Verify that the edges are crisp and the center is tender when pierced with a fork, then garnish with fresh parsley.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Slicing Trick: I always place two wooden spoons on either side of the potato while cutting to act as a guard so I do not accidentally slice all the way through the bottom.
Potato Variety: While russets give you that perfect crispy edge, I have found that Yukon Golds work beautifully if you prefer a creamier, more buttery interior.
Preventing Burned Cheese: I learned the hard way that adding all the parmesan at the start leads to bitter, burnt bits, so I make sure to save half for those final few minutes of cooking.
