Wash the potatoes, and place them in a pot covered with water. Add salt and cook over medium heat until you can pierce them with a fork. They shouldn’t be too soft (otheriwse they’ll fall apart).
Place a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, minced garlic, and seasonings. Mix them well until combined.
Drain the potatoes and let them cook for 10 minutes.
Using a fork, smash the potatoes until they are flattened. Avoid over-smashing because they will fall apart.
Preheat the air fryer to 400f (200C). Brush the potatoes from both sides with the butter mixture we made.
Place the potatoes into the air fryer basket. Leave space between each one. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, until they are crispy.
