Perfectly baked smashed potatoes reveal all the best parts of a potato: crispy skin, crunchy edges, and a soft center. Roasting potatoes in the air fryer after a quick boil leads to perfectly cooked delights that are ready in half the time. Seasoned with bright, umami-forward Caesar Seasoning, these smashed potatoes are the perfect weeknight side dish.
