Viral 2025 Crispy Smashed Potatoes (Air Fryer Edition)
Essential Gear
Yarramate 2-in-1 Oil Sprayer (filled with Avocado Oil)
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 2 tbsp Avocado Oil (Applied via Mist)
- 1 tsp Sea Salt Flakes (Maldon)
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- Fresh Dill for garnish
Instructions
01. The Parboil
Boil potatoes in salted water until fork-tender (approx. 15 mins). Crucial: Drain and let them steam dry for 5 minutes. Moisture is the enemy of crispiness.
02. The Smash
On a flat surface, gently press each potato with the bottom of a heavy glass until approx. 0.5 inch thick. Aim for jagged edges.
03. The Mist (The Secret Weapon)
Arrange in a single layer in your air fryer. Using your Yarramate Sprayer, apply a fine mist of avocado oil. The mist ensures the oil penetrates every crack and crevice without drowning the potato.
04. The Fry
Season with salt and garlic powder. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until deep golden brown.
💡 Why Spraying Matters: Pouring oil leads to soggy bottoms. Aerosol cans damage your air fryer basket. The Yarramate Sprayer delivers pure oil protection.
