Making potato wedges in the air fryer is fast and simple. It is a quick air fryer side dish recipe that can be made while everything else is cooking.
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees.
The first thing you need to do is cut your potato into wedges. Here is how to cut potatoes into wedges.
- Cut the potato in half lengthwise.
- Place half the potato face down and cut it in half again.
- Cut the remaining halves in half. Now you should have wedges.
If you have big potatoes and feel your wedges are too thick. Slice the potato wedge in half again.
For irresistibly crispy potato wedges, start by soaking them in cold water. Fill a bowl with cold water and add a couple of handfuls of ice cubes. Submerge the potatoes and let them soak for 30 minutes. Once the time is up, use paper towels to pat them dry and you’re ready to air fry! Soaking in cold water ensures potatoes come out perfectly crisp every time. Soaking is not a necessary step so you can skip this if you don’t have time.
Next, toss your potato wedges in about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then spread out the wedges in your air fryer. Season the potato wedges and then turn them over and season.
For crispy and golden brown potato wedges, preheat your air fryer to 400°F and cook for 10 minutes. Then flip the wedges and let them fry for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of deliciousness.
