These air fryer smashed potatoes have a seriously satisfying crunch! The potatoes are boiled, smashed, and cooked in the air fryer, giving you a delicious and easy snack or side dish. Oven roasted instructions included. Watch the video belowto see how I make this in my kitchen.
In a large pot, add the potatoes and cover with water. Add one tablespoon of salt and place over high heat. Boil until fork tender.
Preheat the air fryer to 200C/400F.
Place the cooked potatoes on a cutting board. Use a flat-bottomed cup or potato masher to gently press down on each potato until it's slightly flattened and cracks open.
In a bowl, mix together the melted butter and olive oil. Dip each smashed potato into the butter-oil mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Season with salt.
Air fry potatoes in a single layer for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
