Step 1

Cut 2 pounds russet potatoes into 1/2-inch wedges (about 8 wedges per potato). Transfer to a large bowl and add enough cold tap water to cover the potatoes by 1 inch and soak for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the air-fryer to 380°F.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel. Wipe out the bowl, then return the potatoes to the bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and toss until evenly coated. Add all potato wedges to air fryer basket in an even layer (it's OK if they stack). Air fry for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through. The potatoes will be golden in spots.

Step 4

Transfer the wedges back to the bowl. Add 1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning and the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and toss until well-coated. Return to air fryer and cook, shaking halfway through, until tender inside, deep golden-brown outside, and crisp along the edges, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve immediately with a dipping sauce of your choice.
