Crispy Air Fryer Potato Wedges (Printable)
Golden crispy potato wedges with fluffy centers, seasoned and air-fried to perfection in just 30 minutes.
# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 4 medium russet potatoes
→ Oils & Fats
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
→ Spices
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon paprika
05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnishes
07 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
# How-To Steps:
01 - Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 8 wedges of equal size for even cooking.
02 - Place potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss vigorously until all wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
03 - Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes before cooking.
04 - Arrange seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring none overlap. Cook in batches if necessary. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking time, until golden brown and crispy.
05 - Transfer cooked wedges to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- You get that perfect crunch without the mess of deep frying or the guilt of heavy oils
- They come together faster than delivery and taste infinitely better
02 -
- Soaking cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes removes excess starch and makes them dramatically crispier, just pat them completely dry before seasoning
- Don't skip shaking the basket halfway through or you'll have some pieces burnt while others remain pale and soft
03 -
- Buy the largest air fryer your budget allows because being able to cook everything in one batch instead of multiple rounds is life changing
- Save any leftovers and reheat at 180°C for 5 minutes, they come back almost as good as fresh
