Instructions
Make In The Oven
- Preheat oven to 450F / 232C / fan-assisted 200C / gas 8.
- Put a large pot of water on the stovetop and bring to a boil, add whole potatoes and boil for about 15-18 minutes, until tender but not soft. Drain the potatoes and let dry for a few minutess.
- Transfer potatoes to a lightly oiled baking tray, making sure to leave space between potatoes.
- Smash each potato with a potato masher so they are thin and mostly whole (I love having lots of edges in both the potato and the skin, as this is the part that gets nice and crispy). Try to criss-cross the mashing so you get lots of ridges.
- For bigger potatoes, you may want to split before smashing them.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, oregano, thyme and salt.
- Use a basting brush to spread the oil mixture over the potatoes, making sure all the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
- Bake potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crispy.
Make In The Air Fryer
- Put a large pot of water on the stovetop and bring to a boil, add whole potatoes and boil for about 15-18 minutes until tender but not soft. Drain the potatoes and let dry for a few minutes.
- Transfer potatoes to a tray that fits inside your air fryer basket and smash each potato with a potato masher so they are thin and mostly whole (I love having lots of ridges and edges in both the potato and the skin, as this is the part that gets nice and crispy). Try to criss-cross the mashing so you get lots of ridges.
- For bigger potatoes, you may want to split before smashing them.
- In a small bowl, mix together the oil, garlic, oregano, thyme and salt. Use a basting brush to spread the oil mixture over the potatoes making sure all the potatoes are thoroughly coated.
- Preheat the Air Fryer to 375F / 190C and air fry potatoes for 10-12 minutes until nice and crispy, cooking in batches if needed.

Notes
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking tray or Air Fryer basket, you need enough space around each potato for them to crisp up.
- Try and cook potatoes of the same size so that they cook at the same rate.
- If topping your smashed potatoes with cheese, take them out of the oven 5 minutes before done. Then add the cheese and put back in for a couple of minutes until the cheese is nice and melty.
- Storage - keep in an airtight container inside the fridge for 2 days.
- There are 5 WW Blue Plan SmartPoints in one serving.
