Step 1

Wash the potatoes well, then cut them into half lengthwise. Lay one half down on the cutting board and cut it into wedges of even thickness (this way they will cook at the same pace). Usually, each half of a potato makes four wedges.

Step 2

Add the potato wedges to a mixing bowl, add hot (not boiling) water and let the potatoes sit in the hot water for 15 minutes.

Step 3

After the 15 minutes, rinse the potatoes under running water. Then make sure to pat them dry really well.

Step 4

Add the wedges to a dry mixing bowl. Also add the oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Toss until the raw wedges are well coated.

Step 5

Preheat the air fryer to 385 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 6

Once hot, evenly spread the potato wedges onto the air fryer tray. The wedges should not be on top of one another, if possible. If your air fryer is very small, you might have to do this in two batches.

Step 7

Air fry the wedges for 22-26 minutes until cooked and nicely crispy on the outside. Shake approximately every 5 minutes. Since every air fryer is different, your frying time might vary slightly. Our potato wedges are usually done after 25 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the cooked wedges from the air fryer and add more (seasoning) salt or other spices to taste.
