Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs small potatoes yellow or red
- 1 tbsp olive oil or any kind of vegetable oil or butter
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Wash a batch of yellow potatoes. No need to peel them- the peel is edible and delicious.
- Next cook the potatoes until fork tender. We used an air fryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Once potatoes are cooked, lay them out on a cutting board or a couple of plates. Use the bottom of a jar or glass to "smash" the potatoes so that they flatten (see photos).
- Pour about a Tablespoon of olive oil into a small dish. Use a pastry brush to coat potatoes in olive oil. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Flip all the potatoes over and top again with oil and seasonings.
- Open up air fryer and layer potatoes in basket. Heat at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- Once potatoes are done cooking, open up air fryer and use a spoon or tongs to move potatoes from basket to a serving bowl.
Notes
- This recipe works for red or yellow small potatoes
- Cook potatoes in air fryer or microwave before smashing
- Use any kind of vegetable oil or butter, it helps the potatoes to crisp up in the air fryer
