Air fryer potato wedges are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional deep-fried wedges. They have a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior, making them a perfect side dish or snack. Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer potato wedges:
Ingredients:
- 4 large russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: additional seasonings of your choice (e.g., cayenne pepper, rosemary, thyme)
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the potatoes and pat them dry. Cut each potato into wedges, about 1/2 inch thick. You can leave the skin on for added texture and flavor.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you’d like to use. Mix well.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If needed, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook the potato wedges in the air fryer for about 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of your wedges and the air fryer model you’re using.
- Once the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Serve the air fryer potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, sour cream, or aioli.
