Ingredients:
- 1 kg russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Scrub the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat completely dry for extra crispy wedges
- Mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
- Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F). Arrange potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches).
- Cook (first stage): Air fry for 15 minutes.
- Increase heat & finish: Increase temperature to 205°C (405°F) and cook for 5-10 more minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Shake the basket halfway through cooking.
Tips:
- Don’t overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer for even crispiness.
- Check doneness: Cooking times may vary based on wedge thickness and your air fryer model.
- Dry thoroughly: If you soaked the potatoes, ensure they’re dry before seasoning leads to crispier wedges.
Variations:
- Spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chilli flakes for some heat.
- Herby: Toss in dried rosemary, thyme, or Italian seasoning.
- Parmesan delight: Sprinkle-grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges during the last few minutes of cooking.
