Ingredients
- Russet Potatoes: Yukon golds can be used, but I prefer the texture of russet potatoes.
- Avocado Oil: Use your favorite high-heat oil.
- Cornstarch: Helps to create an extra crispy coating on the wedges.
- Dried Rosemary: If you have it, a tablespoon of fresh chopped rosemary can be used.
- Garlic Salt: You can use salt and garlic powder if you don't have garlic salt on hand.
- Black Pepper: Provides a gentle heat and enhances the overall flavor profile.
- Flakey Salt (such as Maldon Sea Salt): Finishing touch that adds crunch and a burst of salty goodness when serving.
Tips and Tricks
- Dry Thoroughly: After soaking, make sure to dry the potato wedges well so that they get crispy when cooked.
- Variations: Smoked paprika, chili powder, and cajun seasoning are great seasoning alternatives. Topping with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese is also a fun way to mix things up.
- Even Layering: Overcrowding will cause the potatoes to steam, so cook in batches if you need to.
- Shake It Up: Stir the wedges occasionally while cooking. This ensures they cook evenly and achieve an all-around crispiness.
- Adjust the Cook Time: Do remember that the cooking time will vary by the type of air fryer. It is my experience that air fryer recipes made with a basket air fryer cook more quickly than those made with an oven style air fryer.
- Finishing Touch: Sprinkle with flakey sea salt just before serving for an added crunch and burst of flavor

Increase the heat to 400°F and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.
Dipping Sauce Ideas
Storage
Store in the refrigerator for up to four days.
You can freeze them for up to a month. I recommend freezing in a single layer on a baking sheet, and then transferring to a zip-top freezer bag.
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Reheat any leftovers in the air fryer to bring back their crispiness, avoiding the sogginess that comes with microwaving.
