I always soaked my potato wedges in water before air frying, but skipping that step gave me a crispier skin in half the time.

After my neighbor in apartment 4B said she just dries them with a paper towel and adds a tablespoon of cornstarch, I tried it and the wedges came out with a perfect crunch without the extra hour of waiting.

Oh wow, the cornstarch trick is a total game changer for crispy wedges.

Wait @xena1, isn't it the potato starch itself doing the work, not just drying?

That cornstarch method works because it sucks up the last bit of surface moisture. The real key is getting the potatoes bone dry before any oil or seasoning touches them. A lot of recipes mess that part up right from the start.
