Cheesy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes

Crispy edges, soft centers, and melty cheese in every bite

These Cheesy Air Fryer Hasselback Potatoes are a comforting side dish made with simple ingredients and big flavor. Thinly sliced potatoes fan open as they cook, allowing buttery garlic seasoning and cheese to melt into every layer. The air fryer creates a crisp exterior while keeping the inside tender and fluffy.

Recipe Overview

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes

  • Cook Time: 45 minutes

  • Total Time: 55 minutes

  • Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed clean

  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted

  • 1 tablespoon garlic paste or finely minced garlic

  • Kosher salt, to taste

  • Black pepper, to taste

  • 3–5 slices Colby Jack cheese, each slice cut into fourths

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream

  • Fresh chives, finely chopped

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

  • Rinse and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.

  • Slice a very thin piece off the bottom of each potato so it sits flat and stable.

2. Create the Hasselback Cuts

  • Place one potato between two chopsticks or wooden spoons.

  • Using a sharp knife, slice across the potato at ¼-inch intervals.

  • The chopsticks will prevent cutting all the way through, keeping the base intact.

  • Repeat with the second potato.

3. Prepare the Air Fryer Basket (Layer-Lifting Method)

  • Place the small potato slices removed from the bottoms into the air fryer basket.

  • Set the sliced potatoes on top of these pieces.

  • This helps the slices fan open during cooking, allowing better crisping and seasoning.

4. Season the Potatoes

  • In a small bowl, combine:

    • Melted butter

    • Garlic

    • Salt

    • Black pepper

  • Gently fan open the potato slices with your fingers.

  • Brush the garlic butter generously over the tops and into the gaps.

  • Sprinkle lightly with additional salt and pepper.

5. First Air Fry Stage

  • Set the air fryer to 370°F (188°C).

  • Cook the potatoes for 20 minutes.

6. Second Air Fry Stage

  • Remove the basket and brush the potatoes with any remaining garlic butter.

  • Return to the air fryer and cook for 20–25 minutes, until:

    • The edges are crisp

    • The centers are fork-tender

    • The slices are fully opened

7. Add the Cheese

  • Carefully tuck the cheese pieces between the potato slices.

  • You can add cheese to every slice or every other slice, depending on preference.

  • Return to the air fryer and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts and becomes lightly bubbly.

8. Serve

  • Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2–3 minutes.

  • Top with sour cream and fresh chives if desired.

  • Serve hot as a side dish or light meal.

Helpful Tips & Variations

  • Even cooking: Choose potatoes similar in size.

  • Extra flavor: Add paprika, onion powder, or dried herbs to the butter.

  • Cheese swaps: Cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack work well.

  • Crispier texture: Brush a little butter between slices halfway through cooking.

Classic Homemade Artisan Bread

by

🍞 Classic Homemade Artisan Bread

Crisp Crust • Soft Interior • Simple Ingredients

This Classic Homemade Artisan Bread is perfect for everyday baking. It uses basic pantry ingredients and simple techniques to create two beautiful loaves with a golden crust and light, airy inside. The dough is easy to work with, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced home bakers.

🧾 Yield & Timing

  • Makes: 2 loaves

  • Preparation Time: 20 minutes

  • Rising Time: 1½–2 hours

  • Baking Time: 30–35 minutes

🧺 Ingredients

  • Warm Water: 600 ml total (about 3 glasses)

    • 200 ml for starting the yeast

    • 400 ml added later

  • Dry Yeast: 10 grams (1 standard packet)

  • All-Purpose Flour: 840 grams total (7 cups)

    • 120 g (1 cup) for the yeast mixture

    • 720 g (6 cups) for the dough

  • Sugar: 1 tablespoon (helps awaken the yeast)

  • Salt: 2 teaspoons

  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon (optional, for lightly coating the bowl)

🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Yeast Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, add:

  • 200 ml warm water

  • Dry yeast

  • Sugar

  • 120 g (1 cup) flour

Whisk gently until smooth. Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.

What to look for:
The surface should become foamy and slightly bubbly, showing the yeast is active and ready.

2️⃣ Build the Dough

Once the yeast mixture is ready, pour in the remaining 400 ml warm water and add the salt.

Gradually add the remaining 720 g (6 cups) flour, one cup at a time, mixing with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a soft, rough dough forms.

3️⃣ Knead Until Smooth

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Using gentle, steady motions, knead for 8–10 minutes.

As you work:

  • The dough will become smoother

  • It should feel elastic and slightly springy

Tip: If the dough sticks too much, sprinkle in small amounts of flour—just enough to handle comfortably. A soft dough creates lighter bread.

4️⃣ First Rise

Lightly coat a clean bowl with olive oil. Place the dough inside and turn it once so the surface is lightly coated.

Cover and place in a warm, draft-free area. Allow the dough to rest until it has doubled in size, about 1 to 1½ hours.

5️⃣ Divide and Shape

Gently press the dough to release excess air. Divide it evenly into two portions.

Shape each portion into a smooth, round loaf by tucking the edges underneath. Place both loaves on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.

6️⃣ Second Rise & Surface Design

Cover the loaves and let them rest again for 30 minutes.

While resting:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F)

Just before baking, use a sharp knife to gently make a shallow “X” or cross on top of each loaf. This helps the bread expand evenly while baking.

7️⃣ Bake

Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, until:

  • The crust turns deep golden

  • The loaf sounds hollow when lightly tapped underneath

Optional Bakery-Style Finish:
Place a small oven-safe pan with 1 cup of water on the lower rack during the first 15 minutes to create steam, giving the bread a crisp, professional crust.

8️⃣ Cool Before Slicing

Transfer the baked loaves to a wire rack. Allow them to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. This helps the interior texture finish setting properly.

⭐ Helpful Tips

  • Warm water should feel pleasantly warm, not hot

  • Letting the bread cool improves slicing and texture

  • Store cooled bread wrapped in cloth or paper for best freshness

For the Dill Yogurt Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons (30 g) plain yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

  • Pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Mashed Potatoes

  1. Peel and cut potatoes into uniform chunks.

  2. Place in cold, salted water and bring to a boil.

  3. Cook until tender when pierced with a fork (about 15–20 minutes).

  4. Drain thoroughly and return potatoes to the pot over low heat for 1–2 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  5. Mash while hot until completely smooth.

  6. Add 2 beaten eggs, 2 tablespoons flour, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined but do not overmix.

  7. Let the mixture cool until comfortable to handle.

2. Make the Mushroom Filling

  1. Finely chop mushrooms with a knife or food processor.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  3. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent (5–6 minutes).

  4. Add grated carrot and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.

  5. Add chopped mushrooms and increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring frequently, until all moisture evaporates (8–10 minutes).

  6. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  7. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely.

3. Assemble the Patties

  1. Place 1 cup of flour on a shallow plate for coating.

  2. Take about 3 tablespoons of the potato mixture and flatten in your palm.

  3. Make a small well in the center.

  4. Place 1 tablespoon mushroom filling and a cube of mozzarella in the well.

  5. Fold edges over to enclose filling completely. Shape into an oval patty about 3 inches long.

  6. Coat thoroughly in flour, shaking off excess.

  7. Repeat with remaining mixture.

4. Cook the Patties

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

  2. Dip flour-coated patties in beaten egg.

  3. Place patties in the hot pan without overcrowding.

  4. Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

  5. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess butter.

  6. Keep warm in a 200°F oven while cooking remaining batches.

5. Prepare the Dill Yogurt Sauce

  • In a small bowl, combine yogurt, chopped dill, and a pinch of salt.

  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips for Success

  • Use starchy potatoes for a fluffy, smooth texture.

  • Ensure mashed potatoes and filling are cooled before assembly to prevent breakage.

  • If the potato mixture is too soft, chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

  • Test oil temperature with a small piece of mixture; it should sizzle gently.

  • Don’t flip patties too early—wait until a golden crust forms.

Storage and Reheating

  • Uncooked Patties: Store between layers of parchment paper in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

  • Cooked Patties: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–12 minutes.

  • Dill Sauce: Refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Cheesy Baked Meat & Potato “Pillows”

by

Cheesy Baked Meat & Potato “Pillows”

Yields: 6–8 individual portions | Prep time: 20 mins | Bake time: 40 mins

Ingredients

The Meat Base:

  • 2.2 lb (1 kg) Ground beef (lean is best to avoid excess grease)

  • 2 oz (60 g) Breadcrumbs

  • 1 Large egg

  • 1 Carrot, finely grated

  • 1 Green onion, chopped

  • 1 Red onion, finely diced

  • 1 Garlic clove, minced

  • 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped

  • Seasoning: Salt, ground black pepper, and dried garlic (to taste)

The Topping & Layers:

  • 3.5 oz (100 g) Sour cream

  • 2.8 oz (80 g) Mayonnaise

  • 10.6 oz (300 g) Mushrooms, finely sliced or chopped

  • 2 Tomatoes, thinly sliced

  • 7 oz (200 g) Mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • Garnish: Paprika and fresh parsley

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Meat Mixture

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, grated carrot, onions, garlic, and dill. Season generously with salt, pepper, and dried garlic. Mix by hand until well combined but do not overwork the meat (this keeps them tender).

2. Shape the Portions

Instead of a flat layer, shape the meat into large, thick patties (about 1.5 inches thick) and place them on a greased baking sheet or in a large baking dish with space between them. Use your thumb to make a slight indentation in the center of each patty—this creates a “well” for the toppings.

3. Layer the Flavor

  • Cream Base: Mix the sour cream and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Spread a dollop onto each meat patty.

  • Vegetables: Press a few mushroom slices and a slice of tomato into the cream on top of each patty.

  • The Cheese: Pile a generous mound of mozzarella over the top of each portion.

  • Final Touch: Spread a tiny bit more of the cream mixture over the cheese (this helps it brown without burning) and sprinkle with paprika.

4. The Bake

Cover the tray loosely with foil (try not to let it touch the cheese). Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and has those characteristic golden-brown spots seen in your photo.

5. Rest and Serve

Let the dish rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute so the meat stays moist. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Chef’s Pro-Tips

  • Moisture Control: If your mushrooms are very fresh/watery, sauté them for 3 minutes in a pan before putting them on the meat to prevent the “pillows” from sitting in too much liquid.

  • The “Picky Eater” Hack: If someone dislikes mushrooms, swap them for a thin layer of pre-boiled potato slices or even a spoonful of caramelized onions.

Creamy Apple Coleslaw

by

Creamy Apple Coleslaw

Yields: 6–8 Servings | Prep time: 15 mins | Chill time: 30 mins

Ingredients

The Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise

  • 1/2 cup Sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice

  • 1 teaspoon Vinegar (white or apple cider)

  • 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar

  • Salt and pepper to taste

The Slaw Base:

  • 1 pound Coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)

  • 1 small bunch Scallions, chopped

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, chopped fine

  • 1 Red apple (such as Gala or Fuji), chopped fine

Detailed Instructions

1. Whisk the Creamy Dressing

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk the mixture vigorously until the dressing is completely smooth and the sugar has fully dissolved. Season the dressing with a pinch of salt and pepper.

2. Prep the Apples

Core and finely chop both the Granny Smith and the red apple. It is recommended to keep the skins on to provide a beautiful pop of color to the salad.

Pro Tip: To prevent the apples from browning (oxidizing) while you finish the prep, toss them directly into the prepared dressing immediately after chopping.

3. Combine the Ingredients

Add the 1-pound bag of coleslaw mix, the chopped scallions, and the chopped apples into the large bowl containing your dressing.

4. Toss and Coat

Using large spoons or salad tongs, toss the ingredients together until every shred of cabbage and piece of apple is evenly coated in the creamy dressing. Taste the mixture and add more salt or pepper if needed.

5. Chill Before Serving

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This chilling period allows the cabbage to soften slightly and ensures the flavors of the lime and apple meld perfectly into the dressing.

Why This Recipe Works

The acidity from the lime juice and vinegar performs two roles: it prevents the apples from turning brown and balances the richness of the mayonnaise and sour cream.

Oven-Baked Garlic Herb Chicken & Vegetables

by

Oven-Baked Garlic Herb Chicken & Vegetables

Prep time: 15 mins | Cook time: 30-35 mins | Serves: 4

Ingredients

The Base:

  • Chicken: 1.5 lbs (approx. 3 large) boneless, skinless chicken breasts.

  • Potatoes: 1 lb baby gold potatoes, quartered.

  • Green Beans: 1/2 lb fresh green beans, trimmed.

  • Garnish: Fresh parsley or chives, chopped.

The Garlic Herb Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 3 tbsp melted butter

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for that golden color)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: Red pepper flakes (for the red bits seen in the photo)

Instructions

  1. Prep the Oven and Pan:

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large 9×13 inch glass baking dish or a rimmed sheet pan.

  2. Season the Vegetables:

    Place the quartered potatoes and trimmed green beans in the baking dish. Drizzle with half of the Garlic Herb Sauce. Toss well to ensure they are evenly coated, then push the vegetables to the sides to make room for the chicken in the center.

  3. Prepare the Chicken:

    Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Place them in the center of the dish. Brush the remaining Garlic Herb Sauce generously over the chicken.

    Tip: For the look in the photo, you can pre-slice the chicken halfway through (hassleback style) or slice them fully after cooking. Slicing after cooking keeps them juicier!

  4. Bake:

    Place the dish in the oven. Roast for 25–30 minutes.

    • Check for doneness: The chicken is safe when it reaches an internal temperature of $165^\circ\text{F}$ ($74^\circ\text{C}$).

    • Check the potatoes: They should be fork-tender and slightly browned.

  5. Finish and Serve:

    Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes (this keeps it moist). If you didn’t slice it before, slice it now. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Even Cooking: If your potatoes are large, start them in the oven 10 minutes before adding the chicken and green beans so everything finishes at the same time.

  • Crispy Texture: If you prefer crispier potatoes, use a large metal sheet pan instead of a glass dish; metal conducts heat faster for better browning.

Carnivore Cake Recipe:

If you’re craving a carnivore-friendly dessert or snack, this Carnivore Cake is a unique, protein-packed option made with only animal-based ingredients. Rich in beef, eggs, and butter, it’s simple, delicious, and aligns perfectly with the carnivore diet.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for some fat)
  • 4 large eggs (preferably pastured)
  • 3 tbsp melted butter (cultured butter for a richer taste)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow (optional, for extra fat and moisture)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda (optional, helps give the cake lift)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, adds a subtle sweetness, check for no sugar)
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for extra moisture)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small cake pan (8-inch round or square) with butter or beef tallow to ensure easy removal.
  2. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, eggs, melted butter, and beef tallow (if using).
    • Whisk well to break up the beef and fully incorporate it into the egg and fat mixture. The consistency should be a bit loose but not too runny.
  3. Add Flavoring and Rising Agents:
    • Stir in the sea salt, baking soda, and vanilla extract (if using). The baking soda helps the cake rise and gives it a slightly fluffier texture, but it’s optional.
    • If you’re using heavy cream, add it now to enhance the moisture content.
  4. Mix and Pour:
    • Mix everything thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly distributed. The batter will have a dense consistency due to the beef.
    • Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    • Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the cake to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.

Optional Variations:

  • Topping: If you want to add extra richness, top the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or more melted butter.
  • Flavor: For a more savory version, you can add a pinch of garlic powder or freshly cracked black pepper.

Made with animal-based ingredients only, these pancakes are fluffy, rich, and packed with protein, while containing zero carbs. They’re ideal for those who want to indulge in a breakfast classic without breaking their diet.

Table of Contents

Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs (pasture-raised if possible)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (for a creamier texture)
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow or butter (for cooking)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
  • 1 tbsp collagen peptides (optional, for added protein and texture)
  • 2 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, for extra fluffiness and richness)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pancake Batter:
    • In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until fully combined.
    • Add the softened cream cheese to the eggs and mix until smooth. If the cream cheese is too firm, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up.
    • Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract (if using) to add moisture and flavor. Add the salt and mix everything well.
    • If you want fluffier pancakes, add the baking powder. You can also add the collagen peptides for extra protein and a smooth texture. Lastly, mix in the shredded mozzarella cheese if using for added fluffiness and richness.
  2. Heat the Pan:
    • Place a skillet or griddle on medium heat and add the beef tallow or butter. Let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly. You want a non-stick surface, so make sure the fat is spread out.
  3. Cook the Pancakes:
    • Pour a small amount of the pancake batter (about 1/4 cup) into the hot skillet. Use a spoon or spatula to gently spread the batter into a round shape.
    • Cook the pancakes for about 2-3 minutes on the first side until bubbles form on top and the edges start to set. Flip the pancakes gently using a spatula and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Serve:
    • Once the pancakes are cooked, transfer them to a plate. You can stack them up and serve them as is, or drizzle with more melted butter if you like.
    • For a savory twist, top with crispy bacon or a dollop of whipped cream cheese.

Optional Toppings and Variations:

  • If you tolerate dairy, you can top your pancakes with a little extra cheese or serve them with cooked bacon for a more filling breakfast.
  • For a slight sweetness (if you follow a less strict carnivore approach), consider adding a few drops of stevia or erythritol to the batter, though this is optional.

These Carnivore Zero Carb Pancakes are easy to make, rich in flavor, and will keep you satisfied without straying from your carnivore lifestyle. Enjoy them as a protein-packed breakfast or even a quick meal during the day!

Steak Bites Recipe

by

These Garlic Butter Steak Bites are quick and easy to make – and they vanish fast! Serve them as finger food on appetizer night, as part of your game day spread or as part of a fun family dinner date.

Steak bites are especially fun for the kids. I know it’s a recipe mostly served as an appetizer (Super Bowl! or any Game Day party!) , but we don’t mind them as a regular meal at all.

They are quick and easy to whip up, and turn out so tender.

Ingredients

  • ▢ 2 pounds steak cut into bites
  • ▢ salt and ground black pepper to taste (season on the generous side)
  • ▢ 1 tablespoon oil
  • ▢ 4 tablespoons butter
  • ▢ 2 cloves garlic or more to taste
  • ▢ 2 tablespoons chopped parsleyoptional for serving

Instructions

  • Prep steak: Remove steak from fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Unwrap, cut into cubes (see notes at bottom of recipe for size recommendation) and season with salt and pepper. Let sit on plate on counter for 30 minutes. (For best results, do not skip this step.)2 pounds steak, salt and ground black pepper
  • Sear steak: Once ready, heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over high heat. Add oil, then sear steak for around 2 minutes per side, until a nice, browned crust forms but middle stays tender. Work in batches if needed, do not overcrowd pan! Set seared steak bites aside on a plate and tent with foil.1 tablespoon oil
  • Make garlic butter: Once steak is done and set aside on a plate, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and garlic to empty skillet. Heat about 2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant. Take off the heat.4 tablespoons butter, 2 cloves garlic
  • Finish: Add steak to skillet with garlic butter. Toss to coat. Serve immediately with chopped parsley, if desired.2 tablespoons chopped parsley

Notes

Steak: Use any tender, boneless cut of steak, cut into cubes. Sirloin steak, strip steak or ribeye all work. You can use beef tenderloin/fillet if you want them extra-tender and special.

Parsley: Totally optional, but highly recommended by my entire family, save the picky 5 year old who thinks the green bits are a waste of space ?

Bite size: You can really cut these as large or as bite-sized as you like. Smaller bites cook more quickly and are more done, larger “bites” stay more tender and have a more medium middle.

I cut mine just under 1 inch, and cooked them for around 2 minutes per side, plus some extra tossing around for 30 seconds to get the edges charred.

Searing time: 4 minutes yielded just under 1-inch bites with a medium-done middle. If you want yours more rare, stick to 1-inch cubes and go with a short and blazing hot sear.

For more done bites, sear them a little longer on medium-high heat instead; and/or cut them smaller. Just make sure you don’t overcook them, or they may turn out chewy.
