Air fryer potato wedges have a classic bistro look with a crispy exterior and a light and fluffy interior!
Potatoes are lightly seasoned with a sprinkle of parsley, for a quick and easy snack or side dish.
Serve next to a fancy steak dinner or alongside your favorite burger for a perfect meal.
Amazing Air Fryer Potato Wedges
- Healthier than deep-fried potato wedges these crispy potatoes require less oil and no mess from a deep fryer.
- Faster than baking them in the oven, these make a quick side dish or snack.
- Double or triple the recipe and keep them warm in the oven until ready to serve!
- Budget-friendly potatoes should always be in the pantry for last-minute air fryer recipes like potatoes and sausage and even homemade potato chips.
Ingredients for Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Potatoes – Any taters will taste great, but I prefer russets for their higher starch content. You can also use Yukon gold potatoes which have a more buttery texture. I find Yukons don’t crisp quite as much but they do taste great.
Oil – Olive oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil will work great. Try a little bit of leftover melted bacon grease for a smoky flavor to your spuds!
Garnish Add a little bit of parmesan or fresh parsley for serving.
So Many Seasonings!
Crispy, golden potato wedges are delish with just a sprinkle of salt and pepper, but why stop there? Add herbs and spices like paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder. Or try adding a sprinkle of the following:
Even a sprinkle of parmesan cheese halfway through cooking will add pizazz to air-fried potato wedges!

More Dips to Try
Sure, you could go with ketchup for fries, but here are some new ideas that will make your potato wedges extra tasty. So try some of these dips and choose a new favorite!
Storing & Reheating
Keep leftover air fryer potato wedges in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat them in the air fryer for 3-5 minutes. Freeze cooled portions in zippered bags and reheat from frozen in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes.
