Ingredients Equipment Method

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

Method
 

  1. Prep the Potatoes:
  2. Cut the potatoes into wedges: slice each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.
  3. Soak the Potatoes:
  4. 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.
  5. Season the Wedges:
  6. In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and oregano until evenly coated.
  7. Preheat the Air Fryer:
  8. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3-5 minutes.
  9. Air Fry the Wedges:
  10. 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.
  11. Serve:
  12. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
