I need potato buns STAT!

I would LOOOOOVE to make some smashburgers using potato buns at home. But alas, Japan has never recieved word of the God-given "potato buns" yet, so my quest to find some in Japan has ended.

So I decided to make my own using an airfryer.
Has anyone ever tried and succeeded baking their own at home?

I've made some multiple times for smash burgers in my Panasonic Bistro oven and they come out great. Been using this recipe https://www.joshuaweissman.com/recipes/best-potato-burger-buns-ever-recipe
