Make perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside potato wedges using your air fryer. This recipe is quick and simple.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry the potatoes completely. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  6. Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
  7. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously every 5 minutes, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Drying the potatoes well before seasoning is key to achieving crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches for the best texture.
  • For extra crispiness, you can soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then dry them thoroughly before oiling and seasoning.
