Our air fryer potato wedges are the best! So while many other recipes result in unevenly cooked potatoes that are limp and dry, ours are delicious.

Inside they are fluffy and airy while the outside is crunchy and well-seasoned.

Ingredients

Ingredients for air fryer potato wedges.
  • Yukon Gold Potatoes – for potato wedges that are creamy on the inside and creamy on the outside.

  • Oil – use a neutral oil like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil.

  • Seasonings – use our seasoning blend or your favorite seasoning blend instead.

  • Salt – Say no to table salt. Use kosher instead.

  • Pepper – Fresh ground black pepper is much better than the pre-ground stuff.

See the recipe card for quantities.

Why Use Yukon Gold Potatoes?

But Yukon Gold taters are magical. They are firm, have some starch, and have a more rounded shape.

They stand up to high heat cooking and become creamy with a slightly buttery flavor while crispy on the outside.

And unlike the Russet, you don’t have to soak Yukon Gold potatoes to remove excess starch. They’ll still crisp up in the air fryer.

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges

First, you’ll want to preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees.

Step 1: Cut the potatoes

After gathering all your ingredients, the first step is to rinse and cut the potatoes in half lengthwise, as shown in the image above.

Then cut the potatoes in half again, lengthwise, then again as shown. Doing so will yield eight pieces per potato.

Cut all of your potatoes in this manner.

Step 2. Rinse, Dry, and Toss with Oil

Next, place those lovely spuds in a bowl and rinse them in cold water until the water runs clean.

Then, place them on a plate or baking tray or plate and pat them dry with paper towel. Next, add them to a bowl and toss with oil.

Step 3. Time to Air Fry

Add the potato slices to the air fryer basket and cook for 12 minutes or until fork tender.

Step 4. Season and Fry Again

Seasoned par-cooked potato wedges in a glass bowl.

Next, add them back to the bowl and toss them with the salt, seasonings, and remaining oil.

Then, increase the temperature to 400 degrees. Add them back to the air fryer for another 12 to 15 minutes.

Variations

  • Parmesan-Herb – After air frying, toss with parmesan and dried parsley, oregano, and/or basil.

  • Cajun – For a spicy kick, before the second round of air frying, toss your spuds with a Cajun spice blend that includes cayenne pepper, onion powder, thyme, and red pepper flakes.

  • Sweet & Smoky – Follow the steps, then when it’s time to season the wedges, coat them with a mix of brown sugar, smoked paprika, a hint of cinnamon, and a dash of salt.

  • Taco Flavor – This one is so simple. Before the second round in the air fryer, toss your wedges in taco seasoning.

Equipment

You’ll need a quality air fryer to make this recipe. We like the Instant Pot Vortex. We’ve had one for years now, and it performs just as good as the day we bought it.

How to Store & Reheat Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Before storing, allow them to cool down completely to avoid condensation which can make them soggy.

Then, place them in an airtight container for up to four days. When you are ready to have them again, reheat by placing them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for about five minutes until they are hot and crispy.

Top tip

Every few minutes, remove the air fryer basket and gently shake it. Emphasis on gently, as you don’t want to break them.

This step will help them to brown more evenly.

    Can I freeze them after cooking them and reheat later?
