Instructions
- Gather the ingredients. Preheat an air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes well to remove any dirt, then pat dry.
- Cut each potato into 8 even wedges for uniform cooking.
- Season wedges with a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and any favorite spices. For extra crispiness, spray lightly with cooking spray.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket—avoid overcrowding for even browning.

Recipe Tips & Variations
- Soaking hack: Soak wedges in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch and boost crispiness.

- Meal prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container; re-crisp in the air fryer at 350°F for 5 minutes.
