Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Air fryer potato wedges are a quick side dish that are perfect for burger night. Use your favorite dip for these easy potato wedges that turn out super crispy in the air fryer.
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 2 Russet Potatoes (Medium to large size)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Cut in half lengthwise, then cut in half lengthwise again, and then once more. This will give you 8 wedges from each potato.
- Soak the wedges in cold water for 30 minutes to help remove the starch. This will make your wedges crispier. Then dry them really well and place them in a large bowl.
- Toss the wedges with olive oil. Set this aside. Mix the seasonings: seasoning salt, onion powder, pepper, and garlic powder, in a small bowl. Add the seasoning mix to the potatoes and stir to coat the wedges.
- Place 8 wedges* in the air fryer basket at a time so that they are not crowded.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees, shaking the basket about halfway through. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
*I tried cooking these wedges with all 16 in at once and a batch with just 8 wedges at once and the batch with 8 turned out MUCH crispier, so it just depends on your preference and how much time you have. Both ways will cook the wedges through evenly, the more crowded basket will just be a bit less crisp.
Potato choices: Yellow potatoes, Yukon gold, red, and white potatoes work too but will not be as crispy and will not have as nice a texture.
