Ingredients
- 2 large potatoes about 200-250grams each
- ½ tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- kosher salt to taste
- ground white pepper to taste
- 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil for brushing or spraying
Instructions
- Cut potatoes in wedges. Cutting potatoes evenly for even cooking.
- Start by cutting 1 potato in half, lengthwise. Cut the half into 2, lengthwise. Then cut the next into two, lengthwise. Making 8 potato wedges per potato.
- Do the same for the other potato. Making a total of 16 potato wedges from 2 potatoes.
- In a large bowl, soak potato wedges in ice-cold water for 15 to 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic powder and smoked sweet paprika.
- Remove potato wedges in water. Thoroughly dry each potato.
- Lightly brush all sides of potato wedges with oil. (Use an olive oil spray as an alternative).
- Season all sides of potato wedges with salt, white pepper, and the garlic mixture.
- Arrange seasoned potato wedges onto the 2 Air Fryer trays. Each piece facing on their side with the skin showing on another side.
- Slowly insert the Air Fryer trays into the pre-heated Air Fryer at 370F (188C). Set at 20 minutes. First tray goes into the middle cooking chamber, near the rotisserie catch. The second tray is placed at the lowest part, above the drip pan.
- After 13 minutes, remove the first tray near the rotisserie catch. Flip each potato wedge on the first tray. Return tray to the middle cooking chamber. (See notes for additional info)
- Remove the second tray and flip each potato wedge on the second tray. Return the second tray at the lowest part of the cooking chamber, near the drip pan.
- Remove Air Fryer trays once potato wedges are golden in color and crisp-tender.
- Serve with your favorite mains or sides and your go-to dipping sauce.
Notes
This Air Fryer recipe uses an Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer Oven. Not all Air Fryers cook the same way. It’s best to keep watch during your initial tests after purchasing.
The food in the first tray in the middle cooking chamber cooks faster. Once the food is cooked in this tray, remove the tray and place the second tray in the middle cooking chamber to finish cooking.
Close the Air Fryer door when turning food. This will save time and continue cooking the second tray while turning the food in the other tray.
The type of potato matters. Russet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes are the best ones to use.
Keep an eye on the cooking time as it may vary depending on your specific air fryer model. Adjust accordingly until you achieve desired crispiness.
