Servings: 4
- 1 pound baby potatoes red or golden
- 3 tablespoons ghee melted
- 2 tablespoons steak seasoning
- 2 teaspoons chive freshly chopped
For the garlic aioli:
- ½ cup mayonaiise whole30 compliant
- 3 cloves garlic minced finely
- salt and pepper to taste
Prepare for baking by preheating your oven to 425F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Add washed baby potatoes and boil until fork tender. This will take about 15 minutes depending on their size.
Remove the potatoes from the water and let them drain in a colander and cool slightly.
Place the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet and use the bottom of a jar to smash each potato down until it's about 1/2 inch thick.
Brush each potato with ghee, then evenly sprinkle the steak seasoning on top.
Add the potatoes to the oven for 10-15 minutes or until they become crispy and golden brown.
While the potatoes are baking, make the garlic aioli by stirring the finely minced garlic into the mayo and adding any salt and pepper as needed.
Once the potatoes are out of the oven, garnish with a small dollop of aioli and a sprinkle of fresh chives. Serve warm.
Boil the potatoes as instructed in the oven recipe and then follow these instructions to make mashed potatoes in the air fryer.
1️⃣ Preheat air fryer to 425 degrees F. Spray with cooking spray.
2️⃣ While the air fryer is preheating, smash the potatoes flat.
3️⃣ Place the smashed potatoes in a single-layer in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your basket, you may need to work in batches.
4️⃣ Cook for 8 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through and serve hot.
