Ingredients
Instructions
-
Cut 1 pound of Yukon Gold potatoes into 1/2-inch thick wedges and place in a large mixing bowl.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/2 cup of water to create a slurry. Microwave the mixture for 1-2 minutes, stopping every 20 seconds to stir. The mixture should thicken into a paste.
-
Add cornstarch paste to mixing bowl and coat the potato wedges with the cornstarch paste. It’s okay if the coating looks a bit chunky; this will help create a crispy texture.
-
Air Fryer: Place the coated potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on how many batches you will need to cook, spray the wedges with 2-4 sprays of avocado oil. Cook the wedges in batches at 375°F for 15 minutes, shaking the basket a few times during cooking to ensure even crisping.
Oven: Arrange in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet. Spray with 4 sprays avocado oil. Bake 425F for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Salt immediately.
