Your trusty air fryer is the key to these perfect potato wedges: They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and absolutely irresistible. This top-rated recipe for air-fried potato wedges is one you’ll come back to again and again.
Best Potatoes for Potato Wedges
Option for a starchy potato variety, such as russet potatoes or Yukon Golds, for perfect results. Avoid waxy potatoes, such as fingerlings, as they won’t hold up as well during cooking.
How to Cut Potato Wedges
To cut a potato into wedges, slice the potato in half lengthwise. Place the cut side of the potato onto the cutting board and cut it in half again to create quarters. Repeat with the other half. Now, position each potato quarter with the cut side up and cut down the center of each quarter to create a wedge. Repeat with the other quarters until the entire potato is cut into wedges.
How to Make Potato Wedges
You’ll find the full recipe below, but here’s a brief overview of what you can expect:
Seasoned potato wedges are placed in the basket of an air fryer and cooked for 10 minutes. The wedges are flipped with tongs and cooked for an additional five minutes, to ensure maximum crispiness.
This recipe doesn’t require pre-soaking the potato wedges before air frying. However, if you have time to soak the potatoes in cold water for about 30 minutes before seasoning and “frying,” the recipe might yield even crispier results.
Potato Wedges Seasoning
These potato wedges are seasoned with a savory mixture of paprika, parsley, chili, salt, and pepper. But, these are your potato wedges, so you can get as creative as you want! Spice it up with cayenne pepper or add a little earthiness with herbaceous rosemary. You’re only limited to the spices in your pantry.
How Long to Cook Potato Wedges In the Air Fryer
These potato wedges should be perfectly crispy after about 15 minutes (10 minutes on one side, five minutes on the other). If you feel like your wedges aren’t crispy enough, you can air fry them for a bit longer on each side — just make sure they don’t burn.
How to Store Potato Wedges
Allow the potato wedges to cool before storage. Place the leftover potato wedges in an airtight container or zip-top bag lined with paper towels. Store in the fridge for four to five days. Reheat in the microwave, in an air fryer, or in an oven.
Can You Freeze Potato Wedges?
Yes, you can freeze cooked potato wedges. Place (completely cooled) wedges in an airtight freezer bag, squeeze out the excess air, and seal. Label with the date and freeze for up to three months. You don’t have to thaw the frozen potato wedges — just reheat them from frozen in the microwave, in an air fryer, or in an oven.
