Ingredients

  • 6 large russet potatoes cleaned, large
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1½ teaspoon salt (use more or less, according to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper use more or less, according to taste, freshly ground
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon paprika powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅓ cup parsley freshly chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Wash and remove dirt from the potatoes. Cut the potatoes into wedges (about 8 pieces per potato). Soak the potatoes in ice-cold water for at least 30 minutes (optional but recommended) - see useful notes below.
  2. Discard the soaking water and transfer the potato wedges to a bowl. Top with the olive oil then combine. Next, season the wedges with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika powder, onion powder and some of the chopped parsely. Reserve some of the parsley for garnishing.
  3. Add cornflour to the seasoned wedges, toss to combine, then transfer the wedges to the air fryer basket, taking care not to overcrowd them. If needed, cook in batches.
  4. Set your Air Fryer to 400°F (approximately 200°C) and air fry for 20-25 minutes until cooked. Check mid-cooking and flip or shake your air fryer basket. You will know they are done when the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy inside.
  5. Repeat the process for any remaining potatoes until all the wedges have been air fried. Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve with some ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  •  
  • I made this recipe using the Ninja Foodi Max Multi-cooker but you can also use other types of air fryers. In this regard, bear in mind that different air fryers cook differently. You should, therefore, keep an eye on your wedges and adjust the time accordingly, if needed. Also, note that thickly sliced wedges will require longer to cook.
  • Nutritional information is an estimate calculated using tools we use and will vary, depending on the ingredients used. It is therefore important that you make your own calculation.
  • For crispy wedges, soak the wedges in ice-cold water for at least 30 minutes before air frying. This is an optional step which I do not recommend skipping.
  • To prevent the wedges from turning soggy, do not overcrowd them in the air fryer basket. Also try to avoid using too much oil.
  • The cornstarch helps crispen the wedges; it forms a coating that helps draw moisture from the potatoes, thereby making them crispy. I therefore do not recommend skipping this either.
  • Use more or less of the seasoning, according to your taste.
