You can make perfectly crispy air fryer potato wedges with a fluffy inside using this simple recipe. These seasoned wedges are a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions and cook quickly for an easy side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the potatoes into uniform wedges, about 1/2 inch thick. For extra crispness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes, then drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the dry potato wedges with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to create your seasoning blend.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss well until every wedge is evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary to achieve the best crispness.
  7. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through the cooking time, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  8. Serve your crispy air fryer potato wedges immediately as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • If you want a Parmesan finish, toss the cooked wedges with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  • For a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to your seasoning blend.
  • Ensure your potatoes are completely dry after soaking; moisture prevents crisping.
