Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Start by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
- Step 2: Cut each potato into wedges by slicing the potato in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on your desired thickness.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Step 4: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Once preheated, arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Step 5: Cook the potato wedges for about 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for even crispness.
- Step 6: Once done, remove the wedges from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- For optimal storage, keep any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- When reheating, pop the wedges back into the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes to restore their crispiness.
- Serve your crispy potato wedges with a side of creamy dipping sauce like ranch or garlic aioli for an extra flavor boost.
- For the best texture, make sure to cut the wedges evenly and don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, allowing hot air to circulate freely for perfect crispiness.
