How to Make Air Fryer Bang Bang Potatoes

Bang Bang Sauce

  1. In a small mixing bowl, add the yogurt, sriracha and maple syrup and stir to combine. Set aside and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Bang Bang Potatoes

  1. Step 1

    Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray; set aside. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

  2. Step 2

    In a medium pot, add 2 quarts of water and ½ teaspoon baking soda; bring to a rolling boil. Add potatoes and cook until barely fork-tender, about 10 to 12 minutes (Note: Be careful not to overcook them).

  3. Step 3

    Drain parboiled potatoes in colander and return to pot. Shake potatoes around a few times so they become rough on the exterior and to help any excess water evaporate.

  4. Step 4

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, cornstarch, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder and salt. Transfer potatoes to bowl with cornstarch slurry and toss to coat well.

  5. Step 5

    Lightly grease the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. In two or three small batches, place the potatoes in a single layer inside the basket and cook for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

  6. Step 6

    When the potatoes are done cooking, transfer to a serving dish, drizzle with Bang Bang Sauce and garnish with sliced green onion.
