Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs russet potatoes scrubbed, skin on
  • 1.5 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp kosher salt for finishing
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Method
 

  1. **Cut.** Slice each potato in half lengthwise, then each half into 4 to 6 wedges depending on size. Aim for 1/2 inch thick wedges.
  2. **Soak.** Place wedges in a bowl of cold water and soak 15 minutes. Drain and pat very dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  3. **Coat.** In a clean bowl toss wedges with olive oil. Sprinkle cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, oregano, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. **Heat.** Preheat air fryer to 400F for 3 minutes.
  5. **Fry.** Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook 18 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket once at the 10 minute mark, until deeply golden and crispy.
  6. **Season.** Transfer hot wedges to a bowl and immediately sprinkle with kosher salt and parsley. Toss to coat.
  7. **Serve.** Plate immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Soak the wedges in cold water 15 minutes to pull out surface starch. Pat dry hard with a kitchen towel before tossing in oil. Wet wedges will steam. Cut into uniform 1/2 inch wedges so they cook at the same rate.
