Begin by thoroughly washing your russet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt. Cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick.

Soak the wedges in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes to remove excess starch.

After soaking, drain the wedges and pat them completely dry. Toss with olive oil, making sure each piece is well-coated.

Add paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the wedges, mixing until evenly seasoned.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Place potato wedges in a single layer in the basket.

Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Check for doneness. If desired, add an additional 3-5 minutes of cooking time for extra crispiness.

Carefully remove from the basket and let them cool slightly, serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces.
