Prepare the Potatoes: Wash the Yukon Gold potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes. No need to peel them; the skin adds a nice texture.

Coat with Olive Oil: Place the potato cubes in a large mixing bowl and drizzle olive oil over them. Toss the potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil.

Season with Ranch Mix: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the potatoes. Use as much or as little as you prefer, depending on your taste. Toss the potatoes again to ensure the ranch seasoning is distributed evenly.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

Air Fry the Potatoes: Carefully place the seasoned potato cubes into the air fryer basket once the air fryer is preheated. Please make sure they are in a single layer for cooking.

Cook to Perfection: Air fry the potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for a cooking time of 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or tossing the potatoes halfway through. Monitor them to prevent overcooking; cooking times may vary based on your air fryer model.

Check for Crispiness: The potatoes are ready when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside. Sprinkle with a bit of coarse sea salt for extra flavor, if desired.

Serve Hot: Remove the Air Fryer Oven Gold Ranch Potatoes from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and serve them hot as a delightful side dish.

Pro Tips For Cooking Air Fryer Oven Gold Ranch Potatoes

• Even Potato Size: Try to cut the Yukon Gold potatoes into uniform-sized cubes. This ensures that they cook evenly, with each piece achieving the perfect crispiness.
• Coat Thoroughly: Make sure each piece is coated evenly when tossing the potato cubes with olive oil and ranch seasoning mix. This ensures that the seasoning and oil are appropriately distributed, providing consistent flavor and texture.
• Preheat for Crispy Results: Preheating the air fryer is essential. It allows the potatoes to start cooking immediately and ensures they develop that desirable crispy exterior. Don’t skip this step.
• Single-Layer Placement: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking and prevent the potatoes from achieving their desired crispiness. If needed, cook in batches.
• Shake or Toss During Cooking: Halfway through the cooking time, shake the air fryer basket or use tongs to toss the potatoes. This helps ensure that all sides of the potatoes crisp up evenly.
• Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the cooking process, especially towards the end. Cooking times can vary based on your specific air fryer model and the size of the potato cubes. The goal is golden-brown, crispy potatoes with tender centers.
• Adjust Seasoning to Taste: Feel free to customize the amount of ranch seasoning mix to suit your taste preferences. Start with a moderate amount; you can add more if desired after tasting.
• Serve Promptly: These potatoes are at their best when served hot and fresh from the air fryer. Enjoy them as soon as they’re done to experience their delightful crispiness.

Following these pro tips, you’ll master the art of making Air Fryer Oven Gold Ranch Potatoes, ensuring they turn out irresistibly crispy and bursting with ranch flavor.
