These Hasselback-style potatoes open into crisp, seasoned layers in the air fryer, then receive a glossy honey-garlic finish. Smoked paprika and green onions add colour and savoury warmth, turning simple potatoes into a memorable side. Serve with almost any main.

What you'll need.

  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried garlic
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

How to make it.

  1. Cut thin slices across each potato without cutting all the way through.
  2. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil with paprika, dried garlic, salt and pepper and brush it between the cuts.
  3. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes.
  4. Mix the remaining oil with honey, minced garlic and green onions and brush it over the potatoes.
  5. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 5 minutes more, until glossy, crisp and tender.

My tips.

Place wooden spoon handles beside each potato while cutting to prevent the knife from going all the way through. For a savoury variation, omit the honey and add grated Parmesan.

Good to know.

Can I cut the potatoes ahead?
Yes. Keep them submerged in cold water, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.

Do I need to peel them?
No. Clean skins can be left on for extra texture and flavour.

What should I serve with them?
They suit roasted chicken, grilled meat, fish, or a large vegetable salad.
