Ingredients 🛒

Small or Baby Potatoes, not peeled

Onion Powder

Garlic Powder

Melted Butter

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper

Method:

Wash and Cook Potatoes:

Wash and clean the potatoes with their peel on.

Cook them in a saucepan covered with water until tender (you can pierce them easily with a fork).

Drain and leave them to cool until they can be handled comfortably.

Preheat Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 200C/390F.

Prepare Potatoes:

Place the cooled potatoes on a clean surface.

Use a glass or a potato masher to gently press down on each potato to flatten it. The thickness of the potatoes will determine how crunchy they become (thinner will be crunchier).

Season Potatoes:

Drizzle the tops of the smashed potatoes with melted butter.

Season with onion powder and garlic powder.

Drizzle with a little olive oil.

Season with salt and pepper.

Air Fry Potatoes:

Place the seasoned, smashed potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.

Air fry for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the edges are crispy. Shake the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping.

Garnish and Serve:

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Enjoy! 😊

This method should give you delicious, crispy smashed potatoes with a lot less oil and quicker cooking time compared to the traditional oven method.
