The Eshel Avraham (OC 6) writes:

אשר יצר. אבל לא על נט"י דא"צ לנטילה ודי בנקיון עפר וצרורות

[Upon exiting the bathroom one says] Asher Yatzar - But not Al Netilas Yadayim, as washing is not needed; cleaning with dirt and stones is sufficient.

We see that the benchmark for making an Asher Yatzar is just that one’s hands are clean. As such, one may make the Beracha before drying his hands.
