Recipe-1
Ingredients
- 1/2 lbs Potato
- Two Teaspoons of Salt

- 1/2 Teaspoon of Paprika
Directions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit using an electric model, and set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Rinse and dry the potato thoroughly before cutting it into wedges (or another shape). If you want thicker wedges, cut them as wide as possible without making them too hard to pick up with your fingers; otherwise, use a mandolin to get thinner slices.
- Put all the potato pieces in an airtight container, add salt and pepper, then shake until they’re evenly coated. You can add garlic powder or paprika if you like.
- Shake off any excess seasoning mixture from each wedge before placing them in your air fryer basket.

Recipe-3
Ingredients
- One lb. (454 g) potato, cleaned
- 1 cup (240 ml) Oil spray to coat the potatoes
- Salt & pepper
Directions
- Cube the potatoes to a thickness of about half an inch. They’ll cook more uniformly if they’re all about the same thickness.
- Arrange the seasoned coating in a low dish with a lip. Spray the potato wedges with oil and then press them gently but firmly into the seasoned layer.

- For 10 minutes, air fry the potatoes at 380 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius). The potatoes need a gentle rotation. If there are any dry areas, treat them with oil spray.
- Keep Air Frying at 380 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius) for 8-12 minutes or until crispy. Add more salt and pepper to taste. Relish while hot and garnish with your selections (ketchup, mustard, ranch, bbq sauce, etc.)

Expert Tips
- Use russet or gold potatoes because of their high starch content. In the oven, they become delicate and fluffy. Avoid red potatoes and other waxy varieties. More about this is provided below.
- If you’re using sliced potatoes, ensure they’re all the same thickness. Uneven cooking is to be expected from thick and thin cuts. Unfortunately, some will get burned before the others are done.
- If your air fryer is on the smaller side, you’ll need to work in increments.
- You may avoid the tasteless Waffles by seasoning them appropriately with salt and pepper.
- To ensure the breading sticks to the potatoes, oil the wedges and press them into the breading mixture.
- Breading of any brand will do. It’s fantastic for potatoes, even if it’s labeled for chicken or other meats.
- Choose barbecue sauce, ranch dressing, buttermilk ranch dressing, or hot sauce to dip. The options are limitless.
