Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Place the baby potatoes in a pot and cover them with water or salted chicken broth. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they are fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and let them cool for a few minutes until they are dry on the surface.

Step 4

Place the boiled potatoes on a cutting board and gently press down on each potato with the bottom of a cup until they are slightly flattened but still intact. Tip: Brush the bottom of your cup with a little bit of olive oil to prevent the potato from sticking to the cup.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.

Step 6

Brush each smashed potato with the seasoned melted butter on both sides. Afterwards, sprinkle the top side of the potato with parmesan cheese.

Step 7

Brush your air fryer basket lightly with oil. Arrange the seasoned smashed potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

Step 8

Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are crispy and golden, remove them from the air fryer and serve immediately while they are still hot and crisp.
