Ingredients
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 0 as needed olive oil spray
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Step 2
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into 4 wedge-shaped pieces. You should have 8 wedges per potato.
Step 3
Place the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for about 5 minutes. This helps to remove some of the starch and ensures they become crispy when air-fried.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes and pat them completely dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Step 7
Lightly spray the potato wedges with the olive oil spray, ensuring all sides are covered. Use just enough to coat the surface of the wedges.
Step 8
Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the potatoes and toss them to ensure even coating.
Step 9
Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Step 10
Air fry the potato wedges for 10 minutes, then carefully shake the basket to turn the wedges for even cooking. Air fry for another 10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 11
Remove the potato wedges from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Step 12
Serve the crispy potato wedges warm as a snack or side dish.
