We cooked these BUFFALO RANCH POTATOES in the air fryer, making them quick, simple, and so flavor. Ready in just 20 minutes!
Buffalo sauce might just be one of my favorite flavors, especially when it’s paired with ranch.
I know, I know…the ‘true’ Buffalo style is with blue cheese, but that’s just not my thing. You can certainly use it in place of the ranch dressing in this recipe if you want, though!
These potatoes are coated in a mix of buffalo sauce and ranch seasoning and then air fried until they’re tender and fluffy on the inside. I could honestly eat these like candy. Just keep popping them in, bite after bite.
So dang good!
As with any recipe with a little heat, such as buffalo sauce, variety is the spice of life. Different people have different levels of comfort with how spicy their food is.
For this recipe, and for my family, we like our spice to be mild with a slight tanginess. That is what you can expect from our buffalo potatoes.
You can make things spicier of course! You can add a little more hot sauce before cooking, add cayenne to your ranch seasoning, or drizzle with extra hot sauce before serving.
Ingredient Notes:
- Potatoes– We like the baby potatoes because one cut makes them bite sized. You can use red or gold, it won’t matter as the seasoning is the star of the show with this recipe.
- Flavor– Make sure you have Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, vegetable oil, and some dry ranch seasoning on hand when you are ready to make this recipe. We will also drizzle some ranch dressing over the top when serving.
How to air fry buffalo ranch potatoes:
- Cut your baby potatoes in half and add them to a mixing bowl.
- Add oil, hot sauce, ranch seasoning to the bowl and mix well to coat the potatoes.
- Spray your air fryer basket with oil.
- Cook the potatoes in the air fryer for 20 minutes, shake the basket halfway through.
- Remove from air fryer and drizzle with ranch dressing and chives.

Also, when applying your vegetable oil, using a non-stick spray can discolor your air fryer internals and the basket. You should not use this. You can brush the oil on your basket, or you can use a refillable pump spray bottle to apply your oil.
