Air Fryer Smashed Potato Medallions transform humble baby potatoes into crispy, caramelized treats that bridge the gap between side dish and dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds baby potatoes
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes.
  2. Drain and place on an air fryer tray, smashing each one flat with the bottom of a glass.
  3. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes until crispy and caramelized.
  5. Serve warm for a unique sweet treat.

Notes

  • Choose potatoes that are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer tray; leave space between medallions for optimal air circulation.
  • Use a sturdy drinking glass with a flat bottom for smashing to create uniform thickness.
  • Avoid over-boiling the potatoes to prevent them from falling apart when smashed.
  • Let potatoes steam dry in the colander for two minutes before smashing to ensure crispness.
  • Use fully melted butter to prevent sugar from clumping.
