Ingredients

  • 16 mini potatoes

  • 2 tsp rosemary
  • 4 tbsp ghee melted
  • 1-2 tsp flaky sea salt
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Generously salt water and add potatoes. Boil potatoes for 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
  • Drain water and allow potatoes to cool for 5 minutes. Dry potatoes well with a towel. Place potatoes on a cutting board. Smash potatoes with the bottom of a glass.
  • Combine melted ghee, onion powder, garlic powder and rosemary in a small ramekin. Brush seasoned ghee onto each potato.
  • Place smashed potatoes on air fryer basket. Air fry smashed potatoes at 400°F for 10 minutes.
  • Remove potatoes from air fryer. Sprinkle potatoes with flaky sea salt and parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Notes

  1. When checking for doneness of boiled potatoes, ensure they easily pierce with a fork. Do not over cook as they will fall apart when smashed.
  2. Dry the potatoes well before smashing to help ensure they get crispy in the oven.
