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.
