    Air fryer potato wedges are a tasty side dish or appetizer that everyone is sure to enjoy. Crispy potatoes with a light and tender middle, seasoned to perfection. 

    We love serving these wedges with air fryer hamburgers, air fryer sausages or air fryer chicken drumsticks. 

    Potato wedges on a plate

    I love cooking potatoes in the air fryer like roasted potatoes, air fryer baked potatoes and of course air fryer french fries. The outer part of the potato always comes out nice and crispy while the inside is tender.

    How to cut potato wedges

    Start with a clean potato. Cut the it in half and then cut the halves in half. Cut those pieces one more time so that you end up with 8 wedges. 

    You can cut more wedges for thinner potatoes if you prefer. 

    What you need

    Potatoes – I recommend using Russet potatoes for wedges. Make sure to clean them well before cooking.

    Seasoning – French fry seasoning is my favorite to use for these potatoes. You could also use seasoned salt, salt and pepper or your favorite blend of spices. 

    Olive oil – This helps to crisp up the potatoes.

    3. Cook: Place wedges in air fryer basket. Cook at 390 degrees F for 15-20 minutes depending on how crispy you want your potatoes. 
    4. Serve: Serve warm.

    Recipe tips

    • The cook time my vary slightly with different air fryers and also potato size. One thing I love about the air fryer is that you can easily pause the cooking process and check on the food. I usually start my time at 15 and add more time as needed.
    • Do I have to soak them? You don’t have to BUT soaking in cold water helps make these potato wedges in the air fryer super crispy. 

    How to store leftovers

    Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or oven.
