Ingredients

4 small Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold (approximately 4 inches by 2 1/2 inches in size is ideal)

Instructions

Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (or 200 degrees Celsius) while you get everything else ready.
Wash your potatoes thoroughly and dry them well with paper towels. We suggest doing this in advance so the potatoes are very dry (this will help them become crispy).
To create the wedges, slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Cut them into quarters by placing the cut side on the cutting board and cutting each half in half again, lengthwise.
Next, position each potato quarter with the cut side up and cut again through the middle once (or twice, depending on how large the potatoes are). You should end up with 32 wedges that are approximately 1 1/2 inch wide.
In a bowl, add the oil over the wedges and shake well to coat the wedges all over with the oil.
Add the spices and shake well again.
Place the wedges in a single layer in the Air Fryer and Air Fry for 15 minutes shaking the basket/tray once about halfway through cooking to toss the wedges.
If your Air Fryer is on the smaller side, you may have to air fry the wedges in batches to make sure you can air fry them in a single layer (in a standard-sized basket Air Fryer you should only have to cook them in two batches).
Serve hot with ketchup or your favourite dipping sauce.
