Crispy smashed potatoes made in the air fryer with olive oil and your favorite seasonings. Ready in 30 minutes for a perfect side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) baby potatoes (Yukon gold or red potatoes work great)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or grated Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes
    Wash and boil baby potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (12–15 minutes). Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Smash the Potatoes
    Place potatoes on a cutting board. Smash each potato to about 1/2 inch thick with a masher or fork.

  3. Season the Potatoes
    Toss smashed potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Coat evenly.

  4. Air Fry
    Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange potatoes in a single layer in the basket. Air fry for 12–15 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy and golden.

  5. Garnish and Serve
    Sprinkle with parsley or Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • For an extra crunch, air fry for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Add a sprinkle of chili flakes for a spicy twist!
