Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Description
The recipe starts by scrubbing russet potatoes, cutting them lengthwise into wedges, and soaking them in cold water for 30 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier texture when cooked. After drying thoroughly, the wedges are tossed in olive oil and a blend of garlic powder, parsley, seasoned salt, and black pepper, coating them evenly.
The wedges are arranged in a single layer in a preheated air fryer basket at 400°F to ensure even cooking and crisping. Cooking times total about 25-27 minutes with shaking and tossing midway to promote uniform browning. The air fryer method yields wedges with a crisp exterior and moist, tender potato inside without deep frying.
To keep the wedges crispy after cooking or when preparing in batches, they can be reheated briefly in the air fryer. Proper drying before cooking and avoiding crowding the basket are key to preventing sogginess and ensuring crisp results.
Ingredients
- 3 small russet potato skin on
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon parsley chopped, fresh
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Scrub the skin of the potatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Place them cut side down on a cutting board. Cut each half into four wedges (five wedges if they're really large).
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and soak wedges for 30 minutes (optional, this removes starch from the potatoes). Drain very well, and dab potatoes dry with a kitchen towel or paper towel.
- Toss the potato wedges with oil and seasonings.
- Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook 15 minutes. Shake the basket and cook an additional 10-12 minutes tossing every 5 minutes or so until crisp.
Notes
- Dry potatoes thoroughly after soaking to avoid steaming and promote crisping.
- Preheat the air fryer and avoid crowding the basket for even cooking; cook in batches if needed.
- Reheat leftover wedges in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes to restore crispiness.
