Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400℉.

Place potatoes in the microwave for 1-2 minutes to soften them. Cut the potato thinly (1 millimeter slices) ¾ of the way through potatoes. I use chop sticks as a buffer.

Spray potatoes with oil and salt and pepper them to taste. Cook for 18 minutes.

While cooking, melt the butter and mix in the cheese, garlic, and parsley.

Brush mixture onto cooked potatoes and enjoy.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Uniform Slicing Technique 🔪
Cut slits 3/4 of the way through each potato (not all the way) using a sharp knife or wooden spoon placed on each side as a guide to ensure even thickness and prevent over-slicing.
Butter Infusion Method 🧈
Mix softened butter with minced garlic and fresh parsley before cooking, then use a small spoon to work the mixture deep into each slit for maximum flavor penetration throughout the potato.
Optimal Air Fryer Positioning 📍
Place potatoes cut-side up in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the basket—air needs to circulate around each potato for that perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior.
Strategic Seasoning Layers 🧂
Season between the slits during preparation and again lightly after cooking—this two-step approach prevents salt from drawing out moisture while ensuring flavor in every bite.
Parmesan Timing Secret ✨
Add grated Parmesan cheese in the final 2-3 minutes of air frying rather than at the start to prevent burning and achieve a golden, crispy cheese crust that won't turn bitter.
