Instructions
Add your potatoes into the base of your air fryer.
Air fry at 400°F for 20 minutes until cooked through.
Remove potatoes and place on a large baking sheet. Using the bottom of a class, smash the potatoes slightly.
Drizzle with the olive oil all over both sides of the potatoes. You want to really coat them in oil!
Add the potatoes back into the air fryer, leaving enough space so they don’t touch (you may have to do multiple rounds but it’s worth it!). Sprinkle with sea salt all over.
Air fry again at 400°F for 8 minutes. Remove and serve with any dip, or top with pesto, shredded vegan cheese, or more sea salt, and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in an air fryer at 400F.
