Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly, then pat dry.

Slice each potato lengthwise into 8 even wedges.

Place the wedges in a bowl of cold water for 15 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat completely dry with paper towels.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they do not overlap.

Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time.

Remove once the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
