Make restaurant-style potato wedges with a crispy exterior and a fluffy inside using your air fryer. This easy recipe uses simple pantry staples and is a healthier alternative to deep-fried versions, perfect as a quick side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Russet potatoes, scrubbed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (for non-vegan option)

Instructions

  1. Cut the potatoes into uniform wedges. For extra crispness, soak the cut wedges in cold water for 30 minutes, then drain and pat them completely dry with paper towels.
  2. In a medium bowl, toss the dry potato wedges with olive oil until lightly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the oiled wedges and toss again until every wedge is evenly coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  6. Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Do not stack them.
  7. Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the basket vigorously halfway through cooking (around the 8-minute mark), until the wedges are golden brown and crispy.
  8. If using Parmesan, toss the hot wedges with the cheese immediately after removing them from the air fryer.
  9. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.

Notes

  • If you are planning meals for the week, this recipe is a great option to pair with quick options from best meal delivery services.
  • For the crispiest results, ensure the potatoes are completely dry before oiling and seasoning.
  • If you prefer a spicy kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the spice blend.
  • If you are following a specific diet plan, consider these a good alternative to heavy sides often found in some weight loss programs.
