Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to ensure it reaches the optimal temperature for crisping the potato wedges evenly.
- Prepare the Potato Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper until each wedge is thoroughly coated in the seasoning mixture, enhancing flavor throughout.
- Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overlapping to promote even cooking and crispiness on all sides.
- Air Fry the Wedges: Cook the wedges at 400°F for 25 minutes. Shake or toss the basket halfway through cooking to ensure the fries crisp evenly and achieve a golden brown exterior.
