Smashed Potatoes – Air Fryer Vegan

Pre-baked Yukon Gold potatoes - smaller ones are best

I like Yukon Gold potatoes for this the best. I batch bake a large tray of them in a preheated 400 degree oven for 1 hour then put them in the refrigerator to chill. Take previously baked potatoes that are cold from the fridge, cut them in half and using the palm of your hand smash them. You don’t want them to be completely flat - all those nooks and crannies are tasty when they get crispy. Place the smashed potatoes onto the air frying rack - skin side down. I don’t preheat my air fryer; I put them in a cold oven and set it to 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. Exactly how long will depend on how big the potatoes are, how much moisture they have and how hot your air fryer gets. Check on them after 15 to 20 minutes and adjust the time to your liking. Dip them in your favorite sauce. We like Donna’s Vegan Cheeze Sauce or homemade ketchup. See the blog post for links to our favorite dips and to watch the video to see exactly how to make them. They are even better than French fries!
