Description

When I first started out making wedges, the one thing I was intimidated by was how to cut potatoes into the perfect shape wedge. Getting them crispy was another insane issue I had. It is actually the complete opposite, and they are so easy to make. I prefer them over making fries, and have included step-by-step photos of cutting the perfect wedge.

Ingredients
  • 4 medium russet potatoes
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
Directions
  1. 1. Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Place in a bowl and refrigerate until completely cool, about 30 minutes.
  2. 2. Combine oil, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut cooled potatoes into quarters and toss into the mixture.
  3. 3. Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  4. 4. Add 1/2 the potato wedges to the air fryer basket, placing them skin-side down and being careful not to overcrowd.
  5. 5. Cook until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Repeat with remaining wedges.
