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
- 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.
- 2Place each baby potato on a board and flatten to about 1/2 inch thick with the bottom of a glass.
- 3Brush both sides with olive oil and season with garlic powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
- 4Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes before adding the oiled potatoes.
- 5Arrange half the potatoes in one layer and air fry 14–16 minutes, turning after 9 minutes, until both sides are crisp.
- 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.
