From kids to adults, everyone loves spuds in a variety of forms. If you are bored with conventional potato dishes, you should explore the magical world of smashed potatoes in the air fryer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The irresistible crunch on the outside and the soft, fluffy inside are certainly a treat for your taste buds. The smashed potatoes air fryer version is a recent culinary creation that has sparked interest among many people. After all, who doesn\u2019t love devouring a dish that\u2019s a cross between a potato chip and a culinary cloud?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process is quite interesting and quirky. Imagine taking a humble potato, boiling it to perfection, then giving it a gentle yet firm squish with a utensil (or your hands). Next, you air-fry it into a crispy, golden masterpiece, and ta-da!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A potato that\u2019s so perfectly mashed is waiting for you to dive in!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is the idea making your mouth water? Well, I am going to help you become a pro at this potato artistry. Get ready for a potato-tastic journey that&#8217;s as captivating as it is delicious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Are_Smashed_Potatoes_for_Air_Fryer_a_Hit_in_the_Culinary_World\"><\/span><b>Why Are Smashed Potatoes for Air Fryer a Hit in the Culinary World?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What I love the most about air fryers is their healthiness &#8211; they help make healthy, hygienic, and crispy food. This appliance resembles conventional ovens in many ways. Many people have started replacing ovens with air fryers due to their speed and health factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot air circulates the food that is placed on a rack. This helps prepare crispy food without the excessive added oil and calories associated with deep-frying. All you need is a small amount of olive oil to enhance the flavor and nutritional profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to helping you make healthy smashed potatoes, an air fryer can help you cook a variety of foods such as vegetables, fish, meats, and even delicious vegan dishes. In addition, they come with a timer to let you know when your food is ready. They have a non-stick surface, and some parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher, which makes cleaning up super simple!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>BetterMe app will kick you out of the mental funk, shake off your extra weight, rid you off your energy-zapping habits, and help you sculpt the body of your dreams.

Some of the benefits of doing this include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Removes_Excess_Starch\"><\/span><b>Removes Excess Starch<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Potatoes contain a lot of starch, and when they are cut into pieces (as with fries), the starch on the outside can affect the color and texture when air-fried. Soaking them helps remove some excess starch, which results in a better texture<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.restonyc.com\/what-happens-if-you-don-t-soak-potatoes-before-air-frying\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(4)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promotes_Even_Cooking\"><\/span><b>Promotes Even Cooking<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaking can help ensure the potatoes cook more evenly. Removing some of the starch will prevent the outer layer from becoming too dark or burnt before the inside is thoroughly cooked.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Enhances_Crispy_Texture\"><\/span><b>Enhances Crispy Texture<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaking and drying the potatoes helps create a crispier exterior. The moisture on the surface of the potato turns into steam when it is heated in the air fryer, which contributes to a crispier crust.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prevents_Browning\"><\/span><b>Prevents Browning<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaking also helps prevent the potatoes turning brown, which can occur when the starch on the surface oxidizes<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tastingtable.com\/814809\/the-trick-that-will-keep-your-potatoes-from-turning-brown\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(3).<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soaking potatoes is done as follows: cut the potatoes into the desired shape, immerse them in cold water for approximately 30 minutes, and then drain and pat them dry with a clean paper towel. These steps can improve the results when air-frying smashed potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=smashed_potatoes_air_fryer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30453 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-1024x576.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-370x208.png 370w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-270x152.png 270w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-570x321.png 570w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991-740x416.png 740w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Frame-3991.png 1344w\" alt=\"smashed potatoes air fryer\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_Potatoes_Better_in_an_Oven_or_an_Air_Fryer\"><\/span><b>Are Potatoes Better in an Oven or an Air Fryer?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increasing health awareness has increased the demand for air fryers. However, we cannot forget the age-old way of baking potatoes in an oven. The conventional oven has been our best friend for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Determining if potatoes are better in an air fryer or oven is entirely dependent on your taste.

They may end up too soft or too hard, but you will gradually get used to the process over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try checking the potatoes after 30 minutes. If they are fork-tender, then they are done. However, if they provide some resistance when you poke them, flip them, and cook them for an additional 5 to 8 minutes. Also, if you are switching from the oven to air fryer smashed potatoes, don\u2019t forget to lower the temperature by 20\u00baC \u2013 30\u00baC, and cook them for 20% less time than you would in the oven.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_You_Know_When_Potatoes_Are_Done_in_an_Air_Fryer\"><\/span><b>How Do You Know When Potatoes Are Done in an Air Fryer?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should take notice of our tips before cooking smashed potatoes in an air fryer. For example, before you put potatoes in an air fryer, you need to make sure you allow them to dry. Wet potatoes won\u2019t crisp up well. All you need to do is leave them in a colander for a few minutes so they become dry. Once this is done, you\u2019re good to go.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When potatoes are kept in the air fryer for 20 \u2013 30 minutes, you should check whether they are completely cooked. Your potatoes are cooked if the knife you insert into their center easily pierces the vegetables. If it does not, you should continue cooking them in the air fryer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try not to poke the potatoes with a fork as this can pop them open, making a mess inside the fryer. Also, you shouldn\u2019t overcrowd the pan inside the fryer so the air will circulate evenly inside the fryer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t fret or regret your purchase if you don\u2019t get perfectly soft potatoes at first. It may take some time to get used to the new appliance and learn the tricks.
