Equipment
- Air Fryer
- mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs russet potatoes small roughly 3-4 potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place potato on the cutting board, then cut in half. Place each half cut side down, and cut in half again. Finally, cut each quarter on an angle to create 8 potato wedges from a potato.
- Place potato wedges in a bowl of cold water with ice and allow to sit for 15-30 minutes. Soaking potatoes helps remove starches from the surface of the potatoes.
- Shake off excess water, and arrange potato wedges on a clean kitchen towel. Blot with a second towel to remove extra moisture from the surface of the potato.
- Toss the potato wedges in the oil to coat, then in the paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Keep mixing until they are evenly coated.
- Heat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Arrange the potato wedges cut side down in the air fryer and cook for 10 minutes. Flip the wedges so that the other cut side is down and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes (depends on the air fryer & size of potatoes).Potatoes are ready when edges are crispy and insides are soft.
