Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 24 oz Gold Potatoes, cut into wedges
- 1 Tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and completely dry the potatoes before slicing them in half lengthwise. Place the cut side down and cut each half into 3 wedges, creating uniform pieces for even cooking.
- First Oil Toss: Pat the potato wedges dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large bowl and toss with 1/2 Tbsp (8g) of olive oil to lightly coat the wedges, which helps in browning.
- Initial Air Frying: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400ºF (204ºC) for 20 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice during cooking to ensure even crisping and cooking.
- Seasoning Toss: After the initial air frying, transfer the wedges back to the bowl. Toss with the remaining 1/2 Tbsp (8g) of olive oil to add more flavor and help the seasoning adhere. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the wedges and toss again to coat thoroughly.
- Final Air Frying: Return the seasoned wedges to the air fryer basket. Air fry for an additional 5-8 minutes at 400ºF until the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are completely dry before the first oil toss to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Shaking the air fryer basket during cooking promotes even browning and prevents sticking.
- Use your preferred ranch seasoning, or substitute with a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and pepper for a homemade alternative.
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes prior to drying and cooking to remove excess starch.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
