- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Steps
- 01Cut each potato into 8 wedges (halve lengthwise, halve each half, halve each quarter).
- 02Soak in cold water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat very dry.
- 03Toss with oil and all seasonings.
- 04Ready for the air fryer. Arrange skin-side down for maximum flat-surface contact.
Skin-side down matters. The flat, cut sides of the wedge should face the airflow, not the curved skin side. This maximizes the browning surface. The skin side touching the basket acts as a natural non-stick surface and peels away cleanly when they're done.
