You will make the best air fryer potato wedges with this simple recipe. We focus on getting that perfect restaurant-style crunch on the outside while keeping the inside wonderfully fluffy. This is a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions and makes an easy side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large Russet potatoes
  • 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. Wash and dry the potatoes well. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
  2. For extra crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain the water completely and pat the potatoes very dry using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. This step is key for crispy air fryer potato wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dried potato wedges with the olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create your seasoning blend.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until every wedge is evenly coated.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  7. 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 maximum crispiness.
  8. Air fry for 16 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through cooking (around the 8-minute mark).
  9. Check for doneness; the wedges should be deep golden brown and crispy. If they are not crisp enough, continue cooking in 2-minute intervals.
  10. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a fantastic side dish or simple air fryer snack.

Notes

  • If you want Garlic Parmesan Potato Wedges Air Fryer style, 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 dry seasoning mix.
  • If you are using smaller potatoes, reduce the cooking time slightly.
