Here’s a recipe for crispy air fryer potato wedges:
Ingredients:
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: additional seasonings like onion powder, dried herbs, or chili powder
Instructions:
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Cut each potato into wedges of your desired size, making sure they are relatively even in thickness.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add any additional seasonings you prefer and mix well.
- Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook the potato wedges in the air fryer for approximately 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning. Adjust the cooking time based on your desired level of crispiness.
- Once the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes:
- Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and spices to suit your taste preferences. You can try adding onion powder, dried herbs like thyme or rosemary, or a pinch of chili powder for some heat.
- Russet potatoes work well for this recipe, but you can also use other varieties like Yukon Gold or red potatoes.
- Make sure to cut the potato wedges into similar sizes to ensure they cook evenly.
- The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your potato wedges and the air fryer model you are using. Keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time as needed to achieve your desired level of crispiness.
- Serve the crispy air fryer potato wedges as a delicious side dish or as a snack with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, sour cream, or aioli.
- These potato wedges are best enjoyed fresh and hot from the air fryer, as they tend to lose their crispiness over time.
