Looking for more simple air fryer recipes? You NEED to try my truly crispy Air Fryer Tofu as well as my Air Fryer Asparagus and my Air Fryer Chickpeas!

Why, yes, I am officially Air Fryer obsessed and I’m not even a little sorry about it. I’ve posted a crazy amount of air fryer recipes the past couple of months but it’s simply because I seriously love mine SO so much.

I’ve had a lot of people asking what kind I have. I’ve tried 4 different air fryers out and this XL Cosori is by far my go-to! It’s the reliable size and A regular here how light weight it is.

And these potato wedges…..SO CRISPY! I can’t even get over how crispy and savory they are.

And most importantly for me: SO so straightforward. That’s what my air fryer has been all about lately: the straightforward, oven-less, recipes. Can’t get enough of them.

Prep 20 minutes
Cook 15 minutes
Total 35 minutes

Ingredients

2 russet potatoes
2 teaspoons of olive oil or olive oil spray
1 teaspoon of salt
pepper to taste
Optional for serving: chopped parsley and grated cheese

Method

1
Fill a large bowl halfway with ice water and set it aside.
2
Cut the potatoes into wedges and then place them in the bowl of ice water. Allow the potatoes to sit in the ice water for fifteen minutes– this is key to a great, crispy potato!
3
Remove the potatoes from the water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
4
Toss the potatoes with the olive oil or a few pumps of olive oil spray.
5
Add as many potatoes as will fit in your air fryer in a single layer. Cook at 375F for 13-15 minutes, turning the potatoes half way through cooking.
6
Season with salt and garnish with chopped parsley and grated cheese as desired. Enjoy!

Cook notes

These are dependable served immediately! To re-heat, add the wedges back in the air fryer and cook for a few minutes until warm and crispy again To cut a potato into wedges, first cut in in half lengthwise and then cut each side in half lengthwise again. Then, cut each quarter into thirds on a diagonal. Each wedge should be about ½” thick. If you need to cook the potatoes in batches, you can keep them warm in a 250F oven for up to 30 minutes.
