You want restaurant-quality potato wedges without the deep fryer mess. This recipe delivers perfectly crispy air fryer potato wedges with a fluffy interior every time. It uses simple pantry staples and gets you a fantastic side dish or snack ready in minutes.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the Russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 equal wedges.
  2. For extra crispness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain completely and pat them very dry with paper towels. This step is key for crispy potato wedges in the air fryer.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the dry potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper to create your seasoning blend.
  5. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the oiled wedges and toss again until every wedge is evenly coated.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  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 the best results.
  8. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender inside.
  9. Serve your homemade air fryer fries immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For a Parmesan finish, toss the cooked wedges with 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the seasoning blend.
  • Do not skip drying the potatoes after soaking; excess moisture prevents crisping.
