Ingredients
- 14 baby potatoes
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Heat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F) to prepare it for cooking.
- Prepare Potatoes: Toss the baby potatoes with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to coat each potato evenly.
- First Air Fry: Place the coated potatoes into the air fryer basket and cook at 200°C for 20-30 minutes, shaking the basket every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking and browning. The potatoes should be soft inside and starting to turn golden.
- Lightly Crush Potatoes: Remove the potatoes and gently crush each one using a potato masher or the bottom of a flat utensil to create flat edges for crisping.
- Second Air Fry: Return the crushed potatoes to the air fryer and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes at 200°C until they become crisp and golden brown on the edges.
- Serving and Storage: Serve hot topped with your favorite ingredients or store in an airtight container for up to one day.
Notes
- Shake the air fryer basket every 10 minutes during cooking for even crisping.
- Lightly crushing the potatoes after the initial cook enhances texture and creates crispy edges.
- These potatoes can be topped with cheese, herbs, sour cream, or any preferred toppings to make a complete dish.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one day for best quality.
