Step 2: Soak the Potatoes

  1. Place the wedges in a bowl filled with ice-cold water.

  4. Toss the wedges with avocado oil and spice mix until evenly coated.

Step 4: Air Fry

  1. Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  2. Cook for 15 minutes, shaking the basket at the 12-minute mark.
  3. Repeat in batches if necessary.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

  1. Garnish with flakey sea salt and fresh parsley.
  2. Serve immediately with garlic aioli or your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For Maximum Crispiness: Don’t skip the soaking step; it removes excess starch.
  • Uniform Cutting: Ensure wedges are evenly sized to cook evenly.
  • Batch Cooking: Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Customization: Add Parmesan cheese or fresh herbs for a twist on flavor.
