Cut each potato into about 8 wedges: Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 4 wedges.

Soak the potatoes in ice water: Add the potato wedges to a bowl of ice cold water (a few ice cubes help the water stay cold for the entire soak) and soak for 20–30 minutes. Drain well.

Dry the potatoes and season: Pat the wedges very dry with paper towels. Add the wedges to a large bowl with the oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Toss until evenly coated.

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F, if your air fryer requires preheating.

Add the wedges to the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 20–24 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through, until the edges are crisp and the centers are tender.

Taste and add a little more salt while the wedges are hot, if you prefer. Serve with burger sauce, ranch, spicy mayo, ketchup, or your favorite dip.
