Air Fryer Potato Wedges

There is nothing fancy about potato wedges. They have been around way longer than the air fryer.

Traditionally baked, they are so easy and much easier than cutting French fries by hand, which is why they are so popular.

You will get the same great flavor, crispy, perfectly seasoned, and delicious! And by cooking them in the air fryer, you are losing all of the greases usually prepared by deep-frying these!

Healthy & Delicious-A Great and Winning Combination!

How To Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Start by cutting your potatoes into wedge shapes. First, cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then cut again, cut again, until you have 8 wedges, about the same thickness.

Mix the potato wedges, olive oil, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl. Coating all of the potatoes.

Pour the coated potato wedges into the air fryer basket. Set the temperature to 400 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 10-15 minutes, shake the basket several times during the cooking process.

Before serving, remove the potatoes from the air fryer and toss with cheese, salt, and fresh herbs.

How To Cut Potato Wedges

Cutting potato wedges is actually very simple, but sounds really complicated.

I love making potato wedges, because they are so much easier than making French fries.

Here are the steps:

• cut the potato in half
• then cut that potato in half again (total now is 4 pieces)
• Cut that potato in half again (total now 6 pieces)
• then cut that potato in half again (total now 8 pieces)

Depending on how big you want your pieces. The ideal cut makes each potato wedge about the same size.

If You Want Your Potato Wedges Crispy

Whether wedges or French Fries, the key to really potatoes is to soak the cut potatoes into cold water for at least 30 minutes.

The cold water does some magic to the potatoes’ starches, and with the help of the air fryer, you will get your potato wedges or fries crispy.

You will need to really make sure that they are dried, before continuing with the recipe.

Which Potato Is Best For Wedges?

I like making these with a firm potato. Today, I chose simple Russet potatoes, but you really can make this with any firm potato.

Some great choices are Yellow, Yukon Golden, Red POtaotes, and Sweet potatoes. They will all get tender and delicious!

The cooking time may vary, based on that potatoes that you use.
