These Air Fryer Potato Wedges are the perfect balance of crispy and fluffy, with golden edges and a tender center. They’re a healthier alternative to deep-fried potatoes, yet just as satisfying. With simple pantry spices and only a little oil, you can have a delicious snack or side dish ready in about 30 minutes. Serve them alongside burgers, chicken, or enjoy them on their own with your favorite dipping sauce.
2 large russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold), cut into wedges
1½ tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan or fresh herbs (such as parsley)
Wash and scrub the potatoes well. Cut each potato into 8 wedges (slice in half lengthwise, then into quarters). Pat dry with a clean towel to remove excess moisture.
Place the wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all wedges are evenly coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if necessary).
Air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or fresh herbs before serving. Serve hot with ketchup, aioli, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Soak the cut wedges in cold water for 20–30 minutes before cooking for extra crispiness (pat dry thoroughly afterward).
Avoid overcrowding the basket to allow hot air to circulate properly.
For extra flavor, try adding smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or Italian seasoning.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
