  • 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
  • 1 head Garlic Minced(Check notes on Roasted Garlic and Garlic Powder)
  • 50 Gms Butter ½ a stick or 4-5 tablespoon
  • 3 tablespoon Fresh Herbs Rosemary, Thyme, Parsley & Chives or 1 tablespoon dried herbs
  • ¼ teaspoon Chili Flakes
  • Salt adjust as per the salt in butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer to 180 C or 365F for about 5 minutes.
  • Let the butter come to room temperature so that its soft and spreadable.
  • Mince the garlic and the fresh herbs. If using roasted garlic, make it into a rough paste. (If using dried herbs and garlic powder, skip this step.)
  • Add the herbs and garlic to the butter and mix it well.
  • Place the potato between two spatulas or chopsticks. Slice it like shown in the pictures above.
  • Add a drizzle of olive oil on the potatoes. Rub it around.
  • Now brush the potato with the garlic herb butter. Make sure to separate the slices and spread some inside the cuts.
  • Place the prepared potatoes on the foil. To the air fryer basket, add the whole thing along with the foil.
  • Air fry for 30 minutes. At the 10 minute mark, open the air fryer, scoop some of the melted butter which would have collected in the foil. Drizzle it on the top of potatoes.
  • Check if the potatoes are done by piercing a fork on the bottom side. If it goes through easily, the potato is cooked.
    Otherwise, air fry for another 5 minutes.
  • If the potato is bigger than 8 inches, microwave the potato for 10 minutes before you slice it and then proceed with the instructions from the top.
