Best Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, perfect for any meal.
Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme for extra flavor
- Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges by first cutting it in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 4-6 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Season the Potato Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional dried herbs. Toss well to ensure all the wedges are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Arrange in the Air Fryer: Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding; cook in batches if necessary for even cooking.
Air Fry the Potato Wedges: Air fry the potato wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Check for Doneness: Check for doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork; it should go in easily. If they need more time, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve: Once cooked, transfer the potato wedges to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for garnish.
Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Potato Wedges:
- Uniform Size: Cut the potato wedges into uniform sizes for even cooking.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for the best results.
- Shake the Basket: Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps achieve even browning.
