Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Baby Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Boil the Potatoes. Start by boiling the baby potatoes until they are fork-tender. This step ensures that they cook evenly and smash easily.
- Smash the Potatoes. Once boiled, carefully transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently press down on each potato with the back of a fork or a potato masher until they are flattened but still intact.
- Season and Oil. Drizzle the smashed potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and black pepper. This seasoning not only enhances the flavor but also helps achieve that crispy exterior when air frying.
- Air Fry to Perfection. Preheat your air fryer, then arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at a high temperature until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside, with a tender interior.
- Serve and Enjoy. Once cooked to perfection, transfer the smashed potatoes to a serving platter and garnish with your favorite toppings. These potatoes are best enjoyed hot and fresh from the air fryer.
