Make perfectly crispy air fryer potato wedges that are golden outside and fluffy inside. This easy recipe uses simple seasonings for a flavorful side dish ready fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled potato wedges and toss again until all wedges are 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. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which prevents crisping.
  7. Air fry for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through cooking (around the 10-minute mark).
  8. Check for desired crispiness. The wedges are done when they are golden brown and crunchy on the outside.
  9. Serve immediately as a quick air fryer recipe or easy side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them completely before seasoning.
  • If you want parmesan potato wedges air fryer style, toss with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese during the last 3 minutes of cooking.
  • This recipe is a healthy potato wedges alternative to deep fried versions.
