Simple Ingredients
POTATOES Mostly, any potato will do, but we prefer russets because they have more starch in them and make for a fluffier interior.
Short on time? Use a bag of frozen potato wedges in place of fresh.
SEASONING MIX Our blend of seasonings make these potato wedges super flavorful and perfect for dipping and dunking. Feel free to use fresh herbs or dried.
OIL Olive oil or vegetable oil work well in this recipe and best of all, you’ll just need a little bit.
How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges
- Cut potatoes into wedges and soak in cold water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well & pat dry.
- Toss potatoes in olive oil & seasonings.
- Place potatoes in air fryer basket & cook (per recipe below) until fully cooked and crispy.
Kitchen Tip
Soaking potatoes before roasting or making homemade fries removes some of the starches resulting in a nice crispy exterior.
Be sure to dry the potatoes well before cooking so they crisp instead of steaming.
Dips for Dunking
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!
- Chipotle Aioli
- Buttermilk Ranch Dressing
- Blue Cheese Dressing
- Sour Cream Dip

- Homemade Garlic Aioli
Quick Tips
- Preheat the air fryer to ensure they get a great crisp!

Other great recipe. Also great tip for cooking in batches and reheating all of the earlier cooked ones to have them all warmed up together. As a mere male I would never have thought of that. ;-(
