Course Side Dish
Servings 4 side servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ pounds of baby potatoes or medium potatoes, quartered
  • 2 tbsp. light-tasting olive oil
  • ½ tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 tsp. dried dill
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water by at least 1″. Add salt to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but not cooked all the way through about 20 minutes.
  • Drain the potatoes and allow to dry in the colander for about 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • Toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper. Lay out in a single layer in the air fryer. Using the bottom of a heavy glass, gently press on each potato until slightly flattened.
  • Air fry for about 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. Serve immediately.

Notes

If you have a small air fryer, I would suggest cooking the potatoes in batches. You can keep the smashed potatoes that are cooked warm in a regular oven at around 200 degrees until all batches are cooked.
