You can make restaurant-style air fryer potato wedges that are shatteringly crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy inside. This easy, quick recipe uses pantry staples and skips the deep fryer for a healthier side dish.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Wash the potatoes well. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. You do not need to peel them.
  2. Place the cut wedges in a large bowl and toss them with 1 teaspoon of the olive oil. This light coating helps the seasoning stick.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley to create your seasoning blend.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the wedges and toss until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  6. Place the seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding, which prevents crisping.
  7. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through the cooking time (around the 8-minute mark).
  8. Continue cooking until the wedges are golden brown and you achieve your desired level of crispiness.
  9. Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then rinse and dry them completely before seasoning. This removes excess starch.
  • If you want a Parmesan finish, toss the hot wedges with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese immediately after they come out of the air fryer.
  • Do not skip shaking the basket; this ensures even cooking and maximum crunch on all sides.
