Ingredients
- 3 large russet potatoes, scrubbed clean
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked or regular)
- 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Equipment
- Air fryer
- Knife and cutting board
- Large mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons
Instructions
1. Prep the Potatoes:
Cut the potatoes into wedges: slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.
2. Soak the Potatoes:
Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove excess starch. This helps achieve extra crispiness. Drain and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
3. Season the Wedges:
In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano until evenly coated.
4. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
5. Air Fry the Wedges:
Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
Tips
- Don’t overcrowd the basket: Cook in batches if needed to ensure the wedges cook evenly and crisp up properly.
- Seasoning options: Try adding Parmesan cheese, chili powder, or Cajun seasoning for different flavor profiles.
- Reheating: Reheat leftover potato wedges in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore their crispiness.
