The Ultimate Smashed Potatoes

Step 1

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and preheat your airfryer to 400°F.

Step 2

Fill a large pot with water, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and the potatoes.

Step 3

Bring the water to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Once the potatoes are cooked, drain them and toss with olive oil, garlic, and the remaining salt.

Step 5

Place the potatoes a few inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets and use a fork or the bottom of a glass to smash the potatoes down to about ¼ inch thickness.

Step 6

Bake in the air fryer for 20 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the potatoes over and bake for another 20 minutes or until the potatoes are golden brown.

Step 7

Serve hot!
