Make golden, crunchy potato wedges with fluffy insides using your air fryer. This easy recipe uses simple seasonings for a healthy side dish ready in minutes.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes completely. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled wedges and toss again until all wedges are evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (195°C).
  6. Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Do not overcrowd; work in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness.
  7. Air fry for 18 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through the cooking time, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately as a quick potato snack or easy weeknight potato side.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before seasoning.
  • If you want a Parmesan finish, toss the cooked wedges with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of your wedges.
