Equipment

1 air fryer

Ingredients

4 large potatoes sweet or russet, washed and dried
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup milk 2% or whole, may want more to thin out

Instructions

Clean potatoes and dry thoroughly. Prick with a fork all the way around potato.
Generously rub outside skins with olive oil, sprinkle salt on outsides if you'd like at this time. Can leave plain too, depending on taste you're desiring.
Put on air fryer rack or basket and set to 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Flip each one halfway through cook time.
Remove when the insides are tender (test with a knife inserted into the middle of the largest potato) and allow to cool enough so you can hold them.
Remove outside skins and put insides into a bowl.
Add softened butter and beat on low with electric mixer, or use potato masher to combine well. Slowly add milk and any other seasonings you'd like.
Sweet potato mash is great with a little cinnamon and/or maple syrup.
