Make crispy air fryer potato wedges that are golden outside and fluffy inside using simple pantry staples. This easy recipe delivers perfectly seasoned wedges without deep frying.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes well. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges.
  2. Place the potato wedges in a bowl and cover them completely with cold water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes. This step removes excess starch, which helps them crisp up.
  3. Drain the potatoes completely. Dry the wedges thoroughly using paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. Moisture prevents crisping.
  4. In a large bowl, toss the dried potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  5. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until evenly coated.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  7. Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary to achieve maximum crispiness.
  8. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  9. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can lightly dust the seasoned wedges with 1 teaspoon of cornstarch before air frying.
  • If you prefer a cheesy flavor, toss the cooked wedges with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  • These air fryer potato wedges are a great side dish for BBQ or game day meals.
