Ingredients
  

For the crispy potatoes:

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

For the tacos:

8 small corn tortillas

1 cup shredded lettuce

1 cup diced tomatoes

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (for drizzling)

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes:

    - Start by peeling and dicing the russet potatoes into small cubes (about ½-inch).

      Season the Potatoes:

        - In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced potatoes with olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated.

          Air Fry the Potatoes:

            - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

              - Place the seasoned potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (work in batches if necessary).

                - Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

                  Warm the Tortillas:

                    - While the potatoes are cooking, warm the corn tortillas. You can do this by placing them in a pan over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side or wrapping them in aluminum foil and heating them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.

                      Assemble the Tacos:

                        - Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the air fryer.

                          - Take a warm tortilla and add a generous scoop of crispy ranch potatoes.

                            - Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheddar cheese.

                              Finish and Serve:

                                - Drizzle sour cream or Greek yogurt on top and garnish with fresh cilantro.

                                  - Serve immediately with lime wedges for an extra zesty touch.
