With just a little oil and the right seasonings, these wedges came out perfect every single time. My family couldn’t believe they weren’t deep-fried, and now they’re our go-to side for burgers, sandwiches, or just late-night snacking.

Tips for the Best Air Fryer Potato Wedges

✔ Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes – Removes excess starch for even crispier wedges!
✔ Don’t overcrowd the air fryer – Cook in batches for the best crisp.
✔ Shake the basket halfway through – Ensures even browning.
✔ Want extra crispy? – Air fry for 2-3 extra minutes at the end!
✔ Use Yukon Gold potatoes – For a creamier inside with the same crispy outside.

Substitutions and Variations

🔹 No olive oil? – Use avocado oil for a higher smoke point.
🔹 Want them extra garlicky? – Add fresh minced garlic in the last 5 minutes of cooking.
🔹 Cheesy upgrade? – Sprinkle Parmesan cheese after air frying.
🔹 Love spice? – Add extra cayenne or a dash of hot sauce to the seasoning mix!

Make a Healthier Version

✅ Use sweet potatoes – Adds natural sweetness and more nutrients.
✅ Reduce oil – Use just ½ tablespoon olive oil for lighter wedges.
