Description
Air fryer potato wedges are seasoned potato slices cooked using hot circulating air instead of deep frying. They’re crisp, flavorful, and much lighter compared to traditional fries. With just a handful of spices and minimal oil, you can prepare wedges that rival any fast-food version—only healthier and fresher.
Ingredients
-
Potatoes (4 medium, preferably Russet) – starchy potatoes give the best crispiness.
-
Olive oil (2 tbsp) – helps the spices stick and enhances browning.
-
Paprika (1 tsp) – adds color and mild smokiness.
-
Garlic powder (1 tsp) – gives a savory depth.
-
Salt and black pepper (to taste) – enhances natural flavors.
-
Dried oregano or parsley (½ tsp) – optional, for a herby twist.
Instructions
-
Preheat air fryer – set to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
-
Prepare potatoes – wash, scrub, and cut each potato into 8 wedges.
-
Season wedges – in a mixing bowl, toss wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
-
Arrange in basket – spread wedges in a single layer for even crisping.
-
Cook wedges – air fry for 15–20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
-
Check doneness – wedges should be golden brown and fork-tender inside.
-
Serve immediately – sprinkle with parsley or Parmesan if desired.
