Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 24 oz Gold Potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning and Oil
- 1 Tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and completely dry the gold potatoes to remove excess moisture. Slice each potato in half lengthwise, place the cut side down, and then cut each half into three evenly sized wedges.
- Coat with Oil: Pat the potato wedges dry with a paper towel to ensure crispiness. Toss the wedges in a large bowl with 1/2 tablespoon (8g) of olive oil, making sure they are evenly coated.
- Air Fry First Round: Place the oiled wedges into the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry at 400ºF (204ºC) for 20 minutes, shaking or tossing the basket once or twice during cooking to promote even crisping.
- Season the Wedges: Transfer the wedges back to the bowl after the initial cook. Toss them with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon (8g) of olive oil until evenly coated. Add 1 tablespoon of ranch seasoning and toss again to distribute the seasoning thoroughly.
- Air Fry Second Round: Return the seasoned wedges to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes at 400ºF until they turn golden brown and crispy to your liking.
Notes
- Ensure potatoes are completely dry before air frying to maximize crispiness.
- Shake the air fryer basket midway through cooking to promote even browning.
- Use a low-sodium ranch seasoning if you want to control salt intake.
- Gold potatoes are preferred for their creamy texture and flavor, but russet potatoes can also be used.
- Adjust seasoning quantity to taste or use your favorite spice blend as an alternative.
