Air Fryer Smashed Potatoes - Ready in 30 Minutes!
Ingredients
  • 1 to 1 ½ lbs. Small potatoes
  • 3 Tbsp. Salted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 tsp. Garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. Italian herbs
  • 1 tsp. Sea salt
  • ½ tsp. Black pepper
Steps
  1. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the potatoes and boil for 10 to 15 minutes until just tender. Don't overcook the potatoes as then they will turn to mash!
  2. You can also cook the potatoes in the Instant Pot, for 5 to 7 minutes at high pressure, with a 10 minute natural release of the pressure at the end.
  3. While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the flavored butter and olive oil. Heat a small pot over medium heat. Add the butter, olive oil and all the seasonings to the pot and mix well. Once melted and mixed together well, remove from the heat.
  4. Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and place them on a baking sheet or cutting board. Using a heavy-bottomed glass (not a potato masher) to gently smash the potatoes down evenly until ½ inch thick (1.2 cm). The potatoes should hold together pretty well and not turn to mash.
  5. Brush the potatoes liberally with the melted butter and olive oil mixture.
  6. Using a spatula, gently transfer the potatoes to the air fryer basket, filling the basket as much as possible but leaving some small spaces between the potatoes.
  7. Air fry the potatoes at 400 °F (200 °C) for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and crispy!
  8. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or eat them as is, they are deliciously crunchy and buttery soft too!
