Air fryer smashed potatoes
An easy recipe to make delicious smashed potatoes in the air fryer fast.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8-10 baby potatoes
- 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, avocado or sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoons of garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1 tablespoon of dried basil
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and dry them with a towel.
- Remove the basket from the air fryer and lay down a tin foil at the bottom.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Lay the potatoes on the tin foil and place in the air fryer for around 15 minutes. (Leave space in between, so that you can later smash them.)
- After 15 minutes, wearing oven mitts, carefully take the air fryer basket out and place on heat-resistant surface. (Remember, it is hot!)
- Keep your oven mitts on and using the bottom end of a glass, smash each potato lightly (to around 1/4in height).
- Spray lightly with oil and liberally sprinkle with the spices.
- Place them in a bowl and add the oil and spices.
- Wearing the oven mitts, add the basket with the smashed potatoes back into the air fryer for another 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Open the air fryer to see if they are crunchy enough for you, and heat them for a couple more minutes if you wish.
- Serve while warm.
