Karlynn’s Recipe Notes

Skill Level: This recipe is very easy, especially if you slice and soak your wedges in advance.
Total Time: This recipe will take you approximately 45 minutes from start to finish, depending how much space your air fryer has.
Variations: You can try this recipe with other varieties of potato, flavoured oils, and whatever seasonings you love best. Try rosemary, Italian seasoning, or even some Cajun seasoning. Why not add some shredded cheese or use these wedges to make a yummy poutine? Make a batch of gravy or some Cheese Sauce for dipping.
Tools Needed: For this recipe, you’ll need an air fryer, some tongs, a large bowl, and some paper towel. You’ll also want a sharp knife and a cutting board.

What You’ll Need For Ingredients

Potatoes: This recipe calls for russet potatoes, but you can use whatever potatoes you like best. Other varieties of potatoes will give you slightly different textures, but they should still all crisp up nicely.

Seasonings: The reasonings for this recipe are all fairly standard. You likely have them in your kitchen already. If you’d like to change up the flavours though, go right ahead. Potatoes tend to go well with almost every spice.

Oil: You’ll only need enough oil to coat the potatoes and help the seasonings to stick. Thanks to the air fryer, you’ll get crispy potatoes without having to use a deep fryer tank or pot full of oil.

How To Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Wash potatoes. Cut each potato lengthwise into quarters, and then cut each quarter in half lengthwise.
Soak wedges in a large bowl of cold water for 15 minutes. Drain water and pat wedges dry with a towel.
Add oil and seasonings to potatoes. Mix well, making sure all the wedges are coated.
Put half the wedges in the air fryer, not touching each other. Cook at 400°F for 10 minutes, flip with tongs, and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Repeat the process with the rest of the wedges.

Karlynn’s Tips and Tricks for Making Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Oily Options: This recipe uses olive oil for coating the wedges. Olive oil has more flavour than vegetable or canola oil, but did you know there are flavoured oils available? Your local grocery store or specialty cooking store probably sells a few different kinds, and you need so little for this recipe that you’ll have plenty leftover for other food. Try a rosemary-infused oil, or maybe something with sundried tomatoes.

Maximum Crisp: It may be tempting to just throw all of the potato wedges into the air fryer at once to get them done more quickly, but if you do that they won’t get the airflow necessary to make them crispy and crunchy. So spread them out in small batches. Also, make sure that you get them as dry as possible before adding the oil and seasonings.

Storage Instructions

While these potato wedges will absolutely be best served hot and fresh, you can store leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days. Reheat in the air fryer or on a pan in the oven to get them hot and crispy again.
