I love a crispy potato in any form and these air fryer potato wedges are my current favorite. They have a crisp exterior but are light and fluffy on the inside.

Plus, they are done in less than 20 minutes, including prep, and super addictive. The perfect side dish.

Ingredients for Air Fryer Potato Wedges

  • Russet potatoes: Unpeeled, washed well and cut into 8 wedges per potato.
  • Olive oil: To make sure they get nice and crispy.
  • Assorted spices: For these potato wedges I decided to use salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. These make a good, basic potato wedge. If you are serving them with Mexican food, add some chili powder and cumin. Italian? Add basil and oregano. You get the idea.

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges

If your air fryer requires preheating, go ahead and start with that.

Grab your potatoes, this recipe calls for 2 large russet potatoes. Cut each in half then cut in half again. Cut the quarters on a diagonal. You’ll have 8 wedges per potato.

Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, pat dry all the potato wedges. Making sure they are super dry will give you even crispier potato wedges.

Add to a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Toss well until they are evenly coated.

I especially love these potato wedges dipped in spicy fry sauce.
