Ingredients
Scale
Potato Wedges
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary or thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
- Season the potato wedges: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and dried herbs if using, making sure each wedge is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow the hot air to circulate and crisp the wedges properly.
- Cook the wedges: Air fry the wedges for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
- Check and serve: Once the wedges are golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside, carefully remove them from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup or ranch.
Notes
- Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before cooking helps remove excess starch and results in extra crispy wedges.
- Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding chili powder or sprinkling with Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
- Leftover wedges reheat well in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
