⏱ 40 min total🔪 9 min prep🔥 31 min cookEasyServes 4American

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb baby yellow potatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried rosemary
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. 1Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 15–18 minutes until a knife slides through the centres easily; drain and steam-dry 5 minutes.
  2. 2Place each baby potato on a board and flatten to about 1/2 inch thick with the bottom of a glass.
  3. 3Brush both sides with olive oil and season with garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  4. 4Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes before adding the oiled potatoes.
  5. 5Arrange half the potatoes in one layer and air fry 14–16 minutes, turning after 9 minutes, until both sides are crisp.
  6. 6Repeat with the remaining potatoes and finish with parsley.

💡 Let the boiled potatoes steam-dry before smashing; surface moisture prevents the torn edges from becoming brittle and crisp.
