Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes and cut them into thick wedges, keeping the skin on.
- Place the wedges in a bowl and toss with oil until lightly coated.
- Sprinkle over the salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
- Mix again so the seasoning sticks to the cut sides.
- Spread the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook at 200°C / 390°F for 10 minutes.
- Shake the basket to turn the wedges.
- Continue cooking for another 6–10 minutes, until golden and crisp on the edges.
- Serve straight away while hot.
Typical mistakes (changed perspective)
- Cutting the wedges too thin — they dry out instead of crisping.
- Overcrowding the basket — they steam rather than brown.
- Skipping the shake — one side ends up pale.
