Ingredients
4 large Russet potatoes
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Scrub potatoes clean under cold running water.
Cut each potato lengthwise into eight uniform wedges.
Pat the wedges thoroughly dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
Toss the dry wedges in a large bowl with oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit for three minutes.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the basket without overlapping.
Cook for 20 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
Remove from the air fryer immediately once golden and crisp.
Notes
Ensure the potatoes are completely dry before adding oil to guarantee the seasoning sticks properly. Do not crowd the basket; cook in batches if necessary to maintain airflow for maximum crispness.
