Bring a large pot of water to the boil and season well with sea salt.
Add the potatoes and boil for 20 minutes.
900 g new potatoes
While the potatoes boil, preheat the air fryer to 220c (if your air fryer requires preheating).
Drain the potatoes and leave to steam dry for 5 minutes in the colander.
While the potatoes steam dry, mix together the vegan butter and garlic in a small bowl.
40 g vegan butter, 1 clove garlic
Transfer the potatoes to baking sheet and carefully crush each one individually with a fork or potato masher until just crushed - try to keep each potato in one piece.
Carefully transfer the crushed potatoes to the tray or basket of your air fryer.
Use a pastry brush to apply the garlic butter to each crushed potato individually.
Sprinkle with the flaky sea salt and some black pepper then air fry until golden and crispy, around 20 minutes depending on the model of your air fryer.
2 teaspoon flaky sea salt, Black pepper
Remove from the air fryer and serve, topped with fresh parsley or chives.
