Description
Air fryer potato wedges are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and packed with savory flavor. A healthier alternative to deep-fried wedges, they’re quick, customizable, and perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
Ingredients
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp dried herbs, or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Scrub potatoes and cut each into 8 wedges.
- Optional: Soak wedges in cold water for 15–30 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, toss wedges with oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes.
- Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Air fry for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy outside and tender inside.
- Remove and serve hot, garnished with Parmesan or herbs if desired.
Notes
Russet potatoes are best, but Yukon Golds also work well.Don’t overcrowd the basket—cook in batches for crispier results.Make them spicy with chili powder or cayenne.Swap in sweet potatoes for a nutrient-rich variation.Reheat leftovers in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
