Crispy Smashed Potatoes is made with baby potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, butter; air fry at 400°F for 25 minutes to serve 4. 200 calories per serving.
Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well.
- 2
Place on a cutting board and smash each potato flat with the bottom of a glass or mug — about 1/2 inch thick.
- 3
Brush both sides with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- 4
Air fry at 400°F for 15-20 minutes, flipping once, until edges are deeply golden and crispy.
- 5
Top with melted butter, fresh herbs, and Parmesan. Serve with sour cream.
Tip: The flatter you smash them, the crispier they get. Don't worry if they break apart a bit — the ragged edges are the best part. Make sure they're fully dry before oiling.
