Potato Wedges done in air fryer are so crispy and delicious. A great side or snack at parties or get togethers. Uses barely any oil.
Potatoes are delicious and if cooked right, they are not unhealthy for you. That said, I avoid deep frying them at all cost.
Air fryer potato wedges are just perfect. Just like smashed potatoes in air fryer, air fryer baby potatoes, air fryer breakfast potatoes and air fryer Hasselback potatoes.
These baked potato, French fries and air fryer potato skins are delicious too.
Ingredients
Potatoes: I have used two potatoes here.
Seasonings: I have used paprika, cayenne, pepper, garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt in this recipe. But you can experiment with your favorite spice mixes.
Olive oil: We need a tbsp. for the golden appearance and also to help the seasonings adhere to the wedges.
Stepwise Instructions
Cut each potato into half and then quarter horizontally. Then cut each large wedge into smaller wedges. Leave the skin on. The thinner you slice them, the crispier they turn out to be.
It is important to dry your potato wedges well so that the seasonings adhere well and they also crisp up nicely.
Mix the spices together. I have used ½ tsp. each of pepper, salt, paprika, garlic powder and ¼ tsp. each of cayenne and Italian seasoning. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil to the potato wedges and sprinkle spices.
Toss well so that every wedge is coated.
Preheat air fryer at 400F or 200C for 3 minutes. Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer basket in one layer.
Air fry at 400F or 200C for 15-18 minutes till the wedges get crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside.
Take out and garnish with any herbs (optional). Serve hot.
Expert Tips
1. Dry the wedges well so that the seasonings adhere to them and also crisp up.
2. Cut the potato into equal sized wedges.
3. Dip the wedges ice cold water for 20 minutes. Then wipe them dry. This helps in removing excess starch which make the wedges even more crispy.
4. You can also reheat leftover wedges in air fryer at 400F or 200C by heating for 2-3 minutes.
