1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-
Cut the potatoes into wedges (8 wedges per potato).
-
Soak the potato wedges in ice-cold water for 15-30 minutes to remove excess starch and help them crisp up.
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
-
After soaking, dry the potato wedges thoroughly.
-
Toss the wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
-
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
For extra flavor, try adding herbs like rosemary or thyme, or top with Parmesan.
If you’d like spicier wedges, sprinkle with cayenne pepper or a pinch of chili powder.
Make sure to dry the potato wedges thoroughly before air frying to ensure a crispy texture.
