Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Cut each potato into 8 even wedges. Soak in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain and pat bone-dry.
- 2
Toss with olive oil and all seasonings until evenly coated.
- 3
Arrange in a single layer, skin-side down. Air fry at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway.
- 4
They're done when deeply golden with crispy edges and a fork slides through easily.
- 5
Season with extra salt immediately. Serve with ketchup, aioli, or ranch.
Tip: The cold water soak removes surface starch for maximum crispiness. Cutting even wedges ensures they all finish at the same time — uneven cuts mean some burn while others are raw.
