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.
