Why This Recipe Is A Favorite
These potatoes come out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making them a perfect snack or side dish. Using an air fryer speeds up cooking and reduces the need for extra oil, keeping things light and healthy.
Directions
Heat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) and let it warm up for about 5 minutes. While it’s heating, toss the fingerling potatoes in a bowl with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until they’re nicely coated. Spread them out in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook the potatoes for around 15 to 17 minutes, giving the basket a good shake halfway through to help them crisp up evenly. While the potatoes are cooking, mix together sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, ranch seasoning, and a splash of vinegar in a small bowl to make a tasty dip. Once the potatoes are golden and crispy, transfer them to a plate and sprinkle with some fresh parsley. Serve them right away with the dip on the side for a delicious snack or side dish.
