Equipment
- Cutting board
- Kitchen tongs
- Sharp knife
Ingredients
- 1 pound russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil or spray
Instructions
- Wash 1 pound of russet potatoes and pat dry. Cut into wedges.
- Season with Cajun seasoning (as much or as little as you like).
- Spray air fryer basket lightly with cooking oil.
- Place wedges in air fryer basket. Spray potato wedges with cooking spray.
- Cook at 400° F(205°C) for 14 minutes, shaking the basket and reapplying oil spray halfway through.
Notes
- Many potato recipes, like French fries and hash browns, suggest soaking or rinsing the potatoes in water before baking, to reduce the amount of starch. We tried it both ways and found that the potatoes were just as crispy either way. Save yourself the extra step and skip right to air frying.
- You can cut the potatoes into any thickness of wedge for this recipe but keep in mind that the times will change.
- If you cut the potato into quarters instead of 6th, the cook time will increase to 18 minutes total. Likewise, if you cut the potatoes into cubes, which make a perfect popper size, they’ll cook in 10-12 minutes.
- When spraying the potatoes and basket make sure to use pure oil such as avocado, canola, or vegetable oil. Don’t use a non-stick cooking oil spray.
- You can peel or leave the peel on the potato. It won’t affect it either way.
