Ingredients

  • 500 g Floury potatoes
  • 2 EL Cooking oil
  • 1 TL Sweet paprika powder
  • 1 TL Hot paprika powder
  • 0.5 TL Cayenne pepper
  • 1 TL Garlic powder
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Method

  1. The oven isn't needed; preheat the air fryer to 200 °C.
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly, do not peel them, and cut them into wedges about 1 cm thick.
  3. Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 10 minutes, then dry them well. This makes them crispier later.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges thoroughly with cooking oil, paprika powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
  5. Place the wedges in the frying basket, spreading them in a single layer if possible, and cook for 15 minutes at 200 °C.
  6. Remove the basket, turn the wedges and cook for another 10 to 15 minutes until crispy and brown, until they are soft on the inside.
  7. Serve hot with a dip or yogurt sauce.
