Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb russet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.75 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.75 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tsp dried parsley optional
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional, for serving

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Scrub potatoes and slice each into evenly sized wedges.
  • Soak wedges in a bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.
  • Drain well and pat very dry with towels. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Toss wedges with olive oil in a large bowl until lightly coated.
  • Combine cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, and pepper. Sprinkle over potatoes and toss until coated.
  • Arrange wedges in a single layer in the basket without crowding.
  • Air fry for 10 minutes, shake the basket, then cook 8–10 minutes more until deeply golden and tender.
  • Serve hot. Sprinkle with dried parsley and Parmesan if using.

Notes

For a spicy twist, swap paprika with Cajun seasoning or add a pinch of chili flakes. Prefer extra-crispy wedges? Air fry an additional 2–3 minutes as needed. Leftovers reheat well in the air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes.
