Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • pinch salt and pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes

To serve

  • sour cream
  • chopped chives

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400F.
  • Add the butter, oil and seasonings to a small pot and place on a low heat to melt the butter.
  • Wash and dry the potatoes.
  • Cut thin slices across the width of the potatoes about ⅔ down. Don't cut all the way through.
  • Gently fan out the slices and brush the butter and oil mix all over and in between the slices.
  • Place in the air fryer at 400F for 30 minutes or until tender.
  • Serve topped with sour cream and chopped chives, or your other favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Preheat your air fryer before adding the potatoes so that they cook through evenly. If your air fryer doesn't hve a preheat button, just run it at 400F for 5 minutes.
  • Take care not to cut the potatoes all the way through. You can use chopsticks or a wooden spoon to guide you; place the potato between two chopsticks on the counter and it will stop the knife from cutting all the way through.
  • Slice the potatoes as thinly as you can.
  • Once cut, fan the potatoes out and use a brush to brush the butter and oil in between the slices. Oil all over the outside of the potato.
  • Different air fryer models can run differently. Check to see if your potatoes are tender by inserting a toothpick in the bottom and cook for longer if needed.
  • Nutritional values are an estimate and does not include any toppings.
