Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs baby gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt *see notes
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Wash and dry the potatoes. Gently pierce each potato with a paring knife to help remove steam as the potatoes cook—preheat the air fryer to 400° F.
- Place the mini potatoes in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the potatoes are fully cooked.
- Transfer the potatoes to a small sheet pan. Using a mug or cup, smash each potato down until flattened.
- Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and the seasonings, and evenly coat both sides.
- Return the potatoes to the air fryer basket and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. Cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
- Garnish with diced chives, if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Kosher salt quantity is a suggestion, but use the desired amount to taste.
- STORAGE: Smashed potatoes are best served immediately but will keep fresh for up to 3 days. Transfer cooled potatoes to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator.
