Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Here’s a delicious and easy recipe for air fryer potato wedges:

Ingredients:

• 4 large potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Optional: ½ teaspoon dried herbs (like rosemary, thyme, or parsley)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
   • Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skins on adds extra flavor and texture.
   • Cut the potatoes into wedges. To do this, cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
2. Season the Potatoes:
   • Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Add the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and any optional dried herbs.
   • Toss the potato wedges well to ensure they are evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Cook the Potato Wedges:
   • Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
   • Air fry the potato wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.
   • The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. If they need more time, air fry them for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Serve:
   • Remove the potato wedges from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
   • Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ketchup, aioli, or ranch dressing.

Tips:

• Soak the Potatoes: For extra crispy wedges, soak the potato wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes before seasoning. This helps to remove excess starch.
• Uniform Size: Try to cut the wedges as uniformly as possible to ensure even cooking.
• Don’t Overcrowd: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
