Ingredients
- 1 pound baby potatoes
- 4 cloves garlic crushed
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon avocado oil
Instructions
- Start by parboiling the potatoes. You'll want to boil your potatoes until you can pierce them easily with a fork - about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes.
- While the potatoes are boiling, preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- When the potatoes are tender, drain them and use a potato masher or a fork to squash them to roughly ¼ inch thickness.
- Next, mix together the oil, crushed garlic, onion powder parsley, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the smashed potatoes in the air fryer basket and brush them with the oil mixture. Make sure that each potato is coated with oil and that you don't overfill the basket.
- Cook the potatoes for 8-12 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, remove the potatoes from the air fryer basket and transfer to a plate. Cook the remaining potatoes in batches.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
