Ingredients
  

  • 3 piece Large russet potatoes, cut into thick wedges
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F / 200°C for 3 minutes.
  2. Combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Toss the potato wedges with olive oil, then coat evenly with the seasoned flour mixture.
  4. Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  5. Air fry for 16 to 18 minutes at 400°F / 200°C, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
