how to make Air Fryer Ranch Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Try to keep the pieces roughly the same size so they cook evenly. Place the cubed potatoes in a large bowl.
2. Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes. In a small bowl, combine the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss until they are evenly coated. Make sure every piece is well-seasoned for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding the basket, as this will prevent the potatoes from getting crispy. You may need to cook them in batches.
4. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden brown and crispy. Cooking time can vary depending on your air fryer, so keep an eye on them.
5. Once the potatoes are cooked through and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness of your Air Fryer Ranch Potatoes.
