Simple Ingredients

- Oil: olive oil and cooking spray for the Air Fryer basket. These can be swapped out for melted butter, canola oil, vegetable oil, or your preferred cooking oil of choice
- Herbs and spices: salt, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, and black pepper
How to make easy air fryer potato wedges
- Step 1: Prep your potatoes by washing, scrubbing, drying with paper towels and then cutting them into wedges.
- Step 2: Place wedges in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Next, sprinkle on the herbs and spices evenly. Toss the wedges to coat evenly with oil and seasonings.
- Step 3: Spray the basket of an Air Fryer with cooking spray before placing the seasoned potato wedges in the basket in a single, even layer. Cook and flip halfway through.
- Step 4: Check for doneness. Cooked potato wedges should be golden brown, have a crispy outside, and be fluffy and tender on the inside. Once cooked, remove and let cool briefly before serving with optional dipping sauce
Recipe Tips
- Cook in batches. Don't overcrowd the basket. Only place in a single layer when cooking the seasoned wedges.
- Store leftover potato wedges in a ziptop bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
- Dip these wedges in buffalo sauce or drizzle with hot sauce, BBQ sauce, ketchup, ranch dressing, aioli, honey mustard, blue cheese dressing, or your other favorite dipping sauce.
- Reheat potato wedges using the Air Fryer. Ditch the microwave, they'll turn out mushy or soggy, not nice and crispy.
- Flash Freeze these cooked potato wedges on a baking sheet for 1-2 hours. Transfer them to a freezer safe bag or container before freezing for up to 2-3 months.
