Air Fryer Potato Wedges

5 from 1 vote

I make these air fryer potato wedges when I want crispy, golden potatoes without heating up the oven. They cook up with crisp edges and a soft, fluffy center using just a few simple ingredients and a quick air fryer method.

Ingredients

4 potatoes medium russet potatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black
Fresh parsley optional garnish, chopped

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
Cut the potatoes into wedges, about 1 inch thick. Aim for evenly-sized wedges.
OPTIONAL - Submerge the cut potato wedges in a bowl of cold water to draw out excess starch. Soak for 10-15 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
Measure the seasonings into a small bowl and stir to combine.
Place the potato wedges in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Drizzle the oil overtop, then add the seasonings.
Use tongs to toss the potato wedges until evenly coated in the oil and seasonings.
Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Work in batches, if necessary.
Cook them for 15 minutes, shaking the basket after 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. Cook an additional 5 minutes if necessary.
Once the potato wedges are golden brown, crispy, and soft through the center, remove them from the air fryer.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Every air fryer is slightly different, so you may have to adjust this rcipe for your specific model.
Cut your potato wedges into evenly sized pieces. This helps them to cook evenly.
Remove any excess moisture from your potatoes and cook in a single layer with a bit of room between each wedge. This allows the potatoes to get crispy, instead of steamy and soggy.
