Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature ensures the potatoes get a nice, crispy exterior.

Wash the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into even-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Baby potatoes can be left whole or halved depending on size, while larger potatoes may need to be quartered into small pieces. Place the potatoes in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, mix olive oil, half a packet of ranch seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the ranch mixture over the potatoes, and mix until evenly coated.

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes then stir for even crispiness. Bake a further 10 minutes or until tender and golden brown.

Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket. Ensure they are in a single layer, as these will make them cook evenly and crisp up all around. If they don't all fit, cook them in batches.

Air fry for about 10 minutes. Then shake the basket for even browning, and cook for a further 8-10 minutes, or until cooked thoroughly.

If you have the Max Crisp function, you use it during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking for super crispy potatoes.

Once ready, sprinkle the chopped green onions and fresh parsley over the hot potatoes, tossing to combine. The residual heat will gently soften the herbs and onions, releasing their flavors.

Taste the ranch potatoes for seasoning and add more salt if required.

Serve while still hot with your main course of choice!
