Crispy Air Fryer Potato Wedges (Printable Version)

Golden crispy wedges with fluffy centers, ready in 30 minutes

# What You'll Need:

01 - 4 medium russet potatoes

02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder

04 - 1 teaspoon paprika

05 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

06 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

07 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

01 - Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 8 even wedges.

02 - Place potato wedges in a large bowl. Add olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until all wedges are evenly coated.

03 - Preheat air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes.

04 - Arrange seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

05 - Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Cook until wedges are golden brown and crispy.

06 - Serve hot while crispy. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired.

01 -

These wedges achieve that perfect crunch with just a fraction of the oil you'd need for deep frying, making them surprisingly guilt free
The seasoning blend hits every note, garlic and paprika creating that irresistible savory flavor that keeps everyone reaching for more
They come together in barely thirty minutes, which means they're equally perfect for weeknight dinners or sudden snack attacks

02 -

Soaking the cut wedges in cold water for thirty minutes removes excess starch, which dramatically improves the final crispiness
Never skip the shake halfway through cooking, or you'll end up with some wedges burnt on one side and pale on the other
These are best eaten the moment they come out, but if you must reheat, return them to the air fryer for just a few minutes

03 -

Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket, even if it means cooking in batches, because the air circulation is what creates the crispy exterior
If your wedges aren't crisping as much as you'd like, add an extra 2 to 3 minutes and check again, remembering every air fryer heats slightly differently
