Ingredients for Air Fryer Potato Wedges
potato – All taters are delicious, but I prefer Russet because of its high starch content. You can also use Yukon Gold potatoes, which have a more buttery texture. I don’t think the Yukon is that crispy, but the flavor is very good.
oil – Olive oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil work well. Try adding a bit of leftover melted bacon grease to add a smoky flavor to your spuds.
garnish Serve with a dollop of Parmesan cheese or fresh parsley.
A lot of seasoning!
Crispy golden potato wedges are delicious with just a sprinkle of salt and pepper, but why stop there? Add herbs and spices such as paprika, garlic powder, and chili powder. Or try adding the following furikake.
A sprinkling of Parmesan cheese just halfway through cooking will give your air-fried wedges a pizzazzy flavor.

Place in one layer in air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Shake basket and cook until crisp, stirring every 5 minutes, for an additional 10-12 minutes.

Avoid crowding the basket so the wedges cook evenly. If necessary, cook the potatoes in batches. Once all batches are cooked, add all wedges to air fryer and heat for 2-3 minutes.
Leftover wedges can be reheated in an air fryer for 3-5 minutes.
