Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon cumin

½ teaspoon chili powder

½ teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)

Optional: Fresh chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. You can peel them if you prefer, but leaving the skin on adds extra crunch and nutrients. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into wedges, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato.

    Soak the Wedges: Place the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step helps to remove excess starch and will yield a crispier final product. After soaking, drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a bold seasoning blend. Add the dried potato wedges to the bowl, tossing them gently to coat evenly.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This ensures the air fryer is hot enough to create a crispy outer layer.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, as this can lead to uneven cooking. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.

            Cook: Air fry the wedges for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside when done.

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the wedges from the air fryer. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, like ketchup, aioli, or a spicy salsa.
