Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by thoroughly washing 2-3 Russet potatoes under cold water. Cut into wedge shapes, about 1-inch thick. Soak in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and set aside.
Pat the potato wedges dry, drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and season with 1 teaspoon of paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Preheat the air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer.
Cook the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
Check wedges for crispiness. If needed, add 3-5 minutes cooking time for extra crispness.
Remove and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
