Air Fryer Potato Wedges Ingredients
Here are the simple ingredients for making potato wedges in an air fryer. You probably have most, if not all, of them on hand already!
Best Potatoes for Wedges
To choose the best potatoes for potato wedges, make sure to pick a potato with a high starch content. I recommend russet potatoes or Yukon gold, which will air fry your wedges into a fluffy, mashed potato-like interior and leave you with crispy edges.
How to Make Potato Wedges in the Air Fryer
1. Wash and scrub potatoes until clean. Then, slice into wedges.
2. Toss with seasonings & oil: add uncooked wedges into a mixing bowl and coat with oil and seasonings. Toss until well coated.
3. Air Fry in a single layer: Working in batches, add a single, spaced-out layer of wedges into your air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until crispy.
4. Repeat, then Heat all: once all wedges are done, add them all back into the basket for a final heating.
5. Season & Enjoy: Season with salt and pepper to taste, or use my seasonings suggestions below. Serve with dips and enjoy!
