Description

Air Fryer Potato Wedges are the ultimate side dish or snack that delivers on crispiness without the excess oil of deep frying. Perfectly seasoned and golden brown, these wedges are tender on the inside and irresistibly crunchy on the outside. Whether you’re serving them alongside burgers, chicken, or enjoying them as a quick snack, this recipe is simple, delicious, and healthier than traditional fried potatoes.

Ingredients

3 small russet potatoes, skin on
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon seasoned salt
Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Scrub potatoes and cut in half lengthwise, then cut each half into four to five wedges depending on size.
Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak wedges for 30 minutes to remove starch. Drain and pat dry thoroughly with a towel.
Toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, parsley, seasoned salt, and black pepper.
Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Shake the basket, then continue cooking for 10-12 minutes, tossing every 5 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Notes

Air Fryer Potato Wedges are best served fresh from the air fryer while hot and crispy. Pair them with ketchup, ranch, chipotle mayo, or garlic aioli for dipping. They also make a fantastic side for burgers, sandwiches, grilled chicken, or steak. If you’re planning a party, serve them on a platter with a variety of dips so guests can enjoy different flavors. For storing leftovers, place cooled wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer at 375°F for 4–5 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving, as it makes them soggy. If you want to freeze them, arrange cooked wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the air fryer straight from frozen for 8–10 minutes.
