Clean and dry the potatoes before placing them in the basket of the air fryer.
1 kg small potatoes
Cook at 200ºC (400ºF) until the potatoes are cooked and tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes or so to ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet.
Using a potato masher (or the bottom of a glass or mug), flatten each potato to an even thickness of around 0.75cm (1/3 inch).
Carefully toss the potatoes in oil, then season with salt and garlic powder.
2 Tbsp vegetable oil, salt, ½ tsp garlic powder
Transfer the smashed potatoes back to the basket of the air fryer.
Cook at 200ºC (400ºF) until the potatoes are crispy and golden, about 20 minutes. Shake the basket every 5 minutes or so to ensure the potatoes cook evenly.
Serve with my vegan aioli or any other dips of your choice.
