Ingredients
  

  • 3 large russet potatoes or Yukon Gold
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt plus more to taste
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp onion powder optional

Instructions
 

Cut the Potatoes

  • Wash and scrub the potatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges depending on thickness.

Soak for Extra Crispiness (Optional but recommended)

  • Place the wedges in a bowl of cold water for 20-30 minutes to remove starch. Drain and pat completely dry with a paper towel.

Season the Wedges

  • Toss the potatoes with olive oil and all the seasonings until evenly coated.

Air Fry the Potatoes

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.

Serve & Enjoy!

  • Sprinkle with extra salt and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce!
