Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lb small potatoes
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 tsp fine grind sea salt (or kosher salt)
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 3 tbsp butter (salted or unsalted)
• 2 – 3 tsp parsley, for garnish

Directions:

Step 1

To start, dump the potatoes right into your air fryer and add 1/4 cup of water. Turn your air fryer on, set it to 400 degrees F, and air fry them for 15 minutes or until they’re fork tender. After this, transfer the cooked potatoes to a baking tray lined with parchment paper, then put another layer of parchment paper over them. Smash the potatoes using something heavy.

Now, bring the smashed potatoes back to the air fryer, spread them out, and season with 1/2 tsp fine grind sea salt and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, then put in 3 tbsp of butter on top. Air fry the potatoes again at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes (toss the smashed potatoes around every five minutes). Garnish with some freshly chopped parsley and serve.
