- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the potato sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Air fry the potato sticks at 400°F (200°C) for 10-15 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- While the potato sticks are cooking, place the sour cream in a small serving bowl. You can also add some finely chopped chives or green onions to the sour cream if desired for added flavor.
- Once the potato sticks are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly.
