Method

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Smashed potatoes:
Wash and clean the potatoes and add them to a medium sized pot. Add the water and bring to a boil on high heat for 15 minutes.

Once potatoes can be pierced easily with a fork, drain the water and set aside to cool.

Rub:
Using a small bowl, combine the olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder and mixed herbs and mix until combined. Set aside.

Yoghurt dip:
Add the yoghurt, water, onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, chives, thyme and juice of half a lemon to a small mixing bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.

Once cooled, spread the potatoes out onto the lined baking tray.

Using the back of a glass, gently press down onto each potato, taking care not to break it all the way through.

Brush half of the rub on the top of the smashed potatoes.

Air fryer:
Place the smashed potatoes into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 190°C for 8 minutes.

Turn the potatoes over and brush with the remaining rub. Cook for a further 4 minutes.

For crispier potatoes, bake each side for 8 - 10 minutes.

Enjoy warm and serve with the delicious yoghurt dip.
