Ingredients
- 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes approx. 4 small potatoes

Instructions
- Scrub your potatoes very well since you'll be eating the skins. Then place them in a pot and fill with water that covers one inch above the potatoes. Add a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Cook until a fork pierces the potatoes, but they still remain intact, approx. 18 minutes. Do NOT overcook, or they will break when you smash them.
- While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter (if using) in a small saucepot. Then mix in the minced garlic and seasoning and set aside.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer to a cutting board to let cool for a few minutes, until easy to handle. Use a large fork or potato masher to carefully smash the potatoes until flattened to approx. half an inch thick. (Careful: do not overly smash them, or they may break.)
- Brush both sides of the potato with your seasoned butter mixture and transfer to your basket, leaving plenty of space in between each one. Air fry at 400 degrees F for 8-12 minutes, or until desired crispiness is reached.

Notes
- Salt your cooking water OR use broth to boil your potatoes for enhanced flavour.
- Use small potatoes for best results. Large potatoes will take longer to cook, they won't get as crispy, and they're more difficult to handle once smashed.
- Position your potatoes in the basket with plenty of space in between each one, for proper airflow, and so you don't need to flip them.
- Let the potatoes cool for a few minutes after boiling to make them easier to handle and smash without breaking them.
