Air Fryer Jojo Potato Wedges
Air Fryer Jojo Potato Wedges are crisp and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and seasoned like the old-school potato wedges from KFC. Since those wedges are gone from the menu, this homemade air fryer version lets you bring them back whenever the craving hits.

- 4 russet potatoes large
- ¾ cup flour
- 1 ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- ¾ tsp salt
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs

Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes clean and slice them into wedges. For best results let them soak in cold water for 20 to 30 minutes.
- In a wide dish, whisk the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and cayenne.
- In a separate dish, whisk the egg and water.
- Pat the potato wedges dry and dredge them in the flour mixture.
- Next, dredge the potato wedges in the egg then back into the flour mixture one more time.
- Place 4 to 8 wedges in the air fryer basket without overcrowding the basket. Spray the wedges with vegetable oil.
- Cook at 400°F for 16 minutes flipping them over halfway through the cooking time. Spray the wedges with oil one more time after you flip them over.
- Repeat with the remaining potato wedges.

Notes
Use More Egg If Needed
If your potatoes are extra large, you may need 2 eggs for the coating. Start with 1 egg and whisk in a second if the egg mixture runs low.Potato Wedge Thickness
If you slice the wedges thicker than ½ inch, they may need an extra 2 to 4 minutes in the air fryer.Do Not Crowd The Basket
Cook the potato wedges in batches so air can circulate around each piece. Crowding the basket can make the coating steam instead of crisp.Spray After Flipping
A second light spray of oil after flipping helps the coating brown evenly and get crisp on all sides.Nutrition
