You will make perfectly seasoned potato wedges that are wonderfully crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside using your air fryer. This recipe is a healthy alternative to deep-fried versions and comes together quickly as 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
  • Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the Russet potatoes well. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
  2. For extra crispness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain the water completely and pat the wedges very dry with paper towels. This step is key for crispy potato wedges air fryer results.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry potato wedges with the olive oil until they are 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 the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; work in batches if necessary to achieve restaurant style potato wedges.
  8. Air fry for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy.
  9. If using, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
  10. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately as a quick potato side dish or simple air fryer snack.

Notes

  • For a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to your dry seasoning mix.
  • If you prefer a garlic Parmesan potato wedges air fryer result, toss the cooked wedges with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and the Parmesan cheese right after removing them from the basket.
  • If your potatoes are not fully dry after soaking, they will steam instead of crisping up.
