Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Freshly cracked black pepper (to taste)

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes to eliminate any dirt and impurities. After cleaning, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, slice each half into wedges, aiming for approximately 6-8 wedges per potato to ensure even cooking.

    Soak the Wedges: For extra crunchiness, place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and soak them for about 30 minutes. This step helps to draw out excess starch, contributing to a crispier final texture. Once soaked, drain the wedges and pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

      Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried potato wedges with olive oil, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss the wedges gently until they are fully coated in the seasoning mixture for a delightful flavor at every bite.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Before cooking, preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking as the wedges start to fry.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single, non-overlapping layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve a uniform crispiness. The wedges should be golden brown and perfectly crispy when done.

            Serve: Carefully remove the crispy potato wedges from the air fryer. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or ketchup, to enhance your snacking experience.
