These delicious air fryer potato wedges are the tastiest side dish or snack. Using an air fryer makes these wedges super crispy on the outside, but soft and tender on the inside.
Thoroughly wash the potatoes then slice them into wedges by cutting them in half lengthwise, then cut each half into fourths lengthwise. Put the sliced wedges in a large bowl, then fill the bowl with ice-cold water. Allow the potatoes to soak in the water for 30 minutes.
2 Large Russet Potatoes
After 30 minutes, drain and rinse the wedges. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel. If your air fryer requires preheating then preheat it to 400°
In a large bowl or ziplock bag combine the oil, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the potato wedges and toss them in this mixture until they are fully coated. Add the cornstarch and toss again until they are coated.
2 tablespoon Avocado Oil, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 ½ - 2 teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper , 3 tablespoon Cornstarch
Place the wedges in the basket of your air fryer in a single layer. Depending upon the size of your air fryer you may need to work in batches. If your air fryer has a tray instead of a basket then line the tray with aluminum foil and lightly spritz with non-stick spray.
Cook the potato wedges at 400° for 15-20 minutes, tossing them in the basket (or on the trey) every 5 minutes.
Serve them immediately with ketchup or the dipping sauce of your choice.
