Preparation
  1. Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt.

Cooking

  2. In a dry bowl, drizzle the dried potato wedges with canola oil, then sprinkle with seasoning salt and garlic powder. Toss gently until well coated.
  3. Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring and flipping the potatoes once or twice during cooking.
  5. Continue cooking until the wedges reach your desired level of crispiness.

Notes

For added flavor, you can incorporate herbs such as rosemary or thyme. Experiment with spices like paprika for a unique twist. For a lighter version, reduce or eliminate the oil.
