Description

Crispy, golden and fluffy, these potato smashies are the ultimate smashed potato experience! Quick and tasty, they are ideal as appetisers or snacks. 


Ingredients

Units
  • 1kg baby potatoes
  • 2 Tbsp (32g) olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • flaky sea salt
  • malt vinegar
  • mayonnaise or aioli

To serve as a Sour Cream & Onion Smashie canapé

  • Pickled red onion
  • Sour cream
  • Fresh herbs to garnish
  • Crispy shallots

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes, then place them into a pot of salted water. Cook until soft and easily pierced with a knife.
  2. Transfer the potatoes to a baking sheet and use the bottom of a cup or mug to smash the potatoes to roughly 1cm in thickness. Don’t over-smash or you’ll end up with mashed potatoes.
  3. Mix the oil, garlic powder and pepper together then drizzle over the potatoes and gently toss to coat evenly.
  4. Remove the grill plate from inside your airfryer. Place the smashed potatoes directly into the base of  air fryer basket in an even layer, and cook for 15-20 minutes at 195 degrees C, shaking halfway through, until the potatoes are crispy and golden brown.
  5. Drizzle liberally with malt vinegar, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

To serve as a Sour Cream & Onion Smashie canapé

Once the potatoes are golden and crisp, plate them up with a spoon of sour cream, then garnish with fresh herbs (dill or chopped chives), pickled red onion and crispy shallots.
