Equipment

  • Vegetable Brush
  • Chef's Knife
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Small Mixing Bowl
  • Air Fryer
  • Parchment Paper
  • Sheet Pan optional - if baking in the oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds Yukon gold potatoes
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Wash and scrub the peel of your potatoes using a vegetable brush.
  • Using a chef's knife, slice the potatoes into wedges.
    Start by cutting a potato in half, then slice one of the pieces in half again. Finally, cut that piece Ito 2-3 wedges, depending on how thick you like them.
  • Add the potato wedges to a large bowl and cover with cool water. Drain, then cover with cool water again.
  • Let the potatoes soak for 15 minutes. Drain once more, and dry them thoroughly with a paper towel.
  • In a small sauce bowl, stir together the cornstarch, seasonings, and vegetable oil.
  • Pour the seasoning sauce on top of the dry potato wedges and ensure that all potatoes are fully coated.

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 390°F and lay the potato wedges on a parchment paper-lined tray. Set them in a single layer.
  • Air fry for 9 minutes, flip and shake the potatoes around, then continue cooking for another 4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately with my Easy Homemade Ranch Dip and enjoy!

Oven-Baked Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lay the potato wedges in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, flip and shake the potatoes around, then continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Tips & Tricks:
Be sure to dry off the potatoes well so the seasoning sauce can stick!
 
Storage Instructions:
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
When you're ready to reheat, pop the potato wedges into a toaster oven or air fryer for a few minutes until warmed through.
