Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Potato Wedges made with russet potatoes tossed in olive oil and aromatic spices, cooked to perfection in just 20 minutes. A healthier alternative to traditional fried potato wedges, perfect as a snack or side dish.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 1 pound russet potatoes

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt, ½ teaspoon
  • Black pepper, ¼ teaspoon cracked

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to ensure even cooking and crispiness for the potato wedges.
  2. Prepare Potatoes: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half, then cut each half into four thick wedges to create uniform pieces for even cooking.
  3. Season Potatoes: Place the wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil, then sprinkle ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper. Toss the wedges thoroughly to evenly coat them in the oil and seasonings.
  4. Air Fry the Wedges: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the hot air fryer basket. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip the wedges or shake the basket vigorously to promote even browning and crispiness on all sides.
  5. Serve Warm: Once cooked, serve the crispy potato wedges warm with your choice of dipping sauces such as ketchup or remoulade for an irresistible snack or side.

Notes

  • Use russet potatoes for the best texture and crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning quantities according to taste preferences.
  • Flip or shake halfway to avoid soggy spots and ensure crispness.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
