Ingredients

2 pounds baby potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup butter unsalted
¼ cup milk or heavy cream
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Meanwhile, add your potatoes to a bowl and drizzle with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to fully coat.
Wrap each pound of potatoes in a sealed packet of foil making sure it is airtight. Place the foil packets in the preheated air fryer.
Set the timer for 25 minutes. Once the time is up, check the potatoes with a fork to see if they are fork-tender. If not, wrap them back up and cook for an additional 5 minutes
Once the potatoes are cooked, add them to a bowl with the butter and milk. Mash with a potato masher until everything is smooth and fully combined. Adjust seasonings and enjoy!
