Perfectly crispy on the outside and still tender on the inside, these tasty Air Fryer Potato Wedges are so simple to make and healthy too! They are the perfect quick and easy side that goes with any meal or yummy snack with your favorite dipping sauce!

Potato Wedges In Air Fryer

You are going to be amazed at how easy it is to make homemade air fried potato wedges. They come out perfect every time and take just minutes to make. All you have to do is slice a few potatoes, toss them with some oil and seasoning, and then let the air fryer work its magic.

And by air frying the potatoes, you cut out almost all of the grease, which makes this recipe both healthier and easier to clean up. There is no pot of oil to deal with or stove to clean. The air fryer does all the work and leaves you with perfectly browned wedges in half the time with half of the work.

You can eat these crispy potato wedges on their own with simple ketchup or get a little more creative and try them with a yummy dipping sauce like my Sriracha Chili Sauce or Homemade Thousand Island Dressing. Of course, they also pair well with any meat dish, burger, or fish.

How to Make Potato Wedges in Air Fryer

This recipe for making air fried potato wedges is really easy! It doesn’t require any fancy ingredients and the only equipment needed is an air fryer. This is what you will need:

3 Russet Potatoes
Olive Oil
Salt
Black Pepper

To start, wash the potatoes, and peel them if you want. I like to leave the skin on mine, but it’s totally a personal preference. Next, cut the potatoes in half and then slice the halves into wedges. Then put the wedges into a large bowl.

Next, drizzle the potatoes with olive oil. You can also use any type of vegetable oil. Then sprinkle the wedges with salt and pepper. Now, toss everything together to coat the wedges with the oil and seasonings.

Finally, it’s time to cook the wedges! Put the seasoned potatoes into the basket of the air fryer and cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

But halfway through cooking, you need to remove the air fryer basket and shake it so that all the wedges toss around. This helps the air fryer potato wedges cook more evenly. Then place the basket back into the air fryer to finish cooking.

When done, remove the air fryer potato wedges from the air fryer basket and transfer them to your serving dish of choice to enjoy!

How to Store and Reheat Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Air fried potato wedges will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days covered or stored in a container. To reheat, just put them in the microwave for about 3 minutes on medium power or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes.

Air Fried Potato Wedge Variations

You can easily customize this recipe any way you like. Some of my favorite additions are smoked paprika, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Just add whatever herbs or spices you want when you add the oil, salt, and pepper to the wedges. Then just continue on and air fry as stated in the recipe.
