These crispy air fryer potato wedges have golden, crunchy edges and fluffy centres, all made with simple ingredients and no parboiling. An easy homemade side dish that's even better than frozen wedges.
Cut the potatoes: Cut 500 g of Potatoes into 2cm thick wedges.
Soak and dry the wedges: Add the cut wedges to a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes.
Dry the wedges: Drain them and pat dry thoroughly.
Preheat: If your air fryer requires pre-heating, then do this now.
Coat with oil and seasoning: Add the dried wedges to a bowl with 1 tbsp of Olive oil, 1 tsp of Italian seasoning and 1 tsp of Garlic granules.
Mix: Mix well with your hands so that all the wedges are coated.
Arrange in the basket: Arrange a single layer of wedges, skin side down, in the bottom of the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if needed.
Air fry and shake: Cook on the Air Fry setting at 180°C for 25 minutes, shaking the basket twice during cooking.
Check for doneness and finish: Then serve with chopped fresh herbs (we used Fresh parsley) and grated Parmesan (both optional).
For vegan wedges, omit the Parmesan or use a vegan alternative.
Notes
The best potatoes to use are Maris Piper or King Edward in the UK; Russet in the US.
These wedges were cooked in a Ninja Dual 9.5 litre air fryer. As all air fryers are different, you may have different results if using another brand of air fryer.
When mixing the oil and seasoning into the potatoes, use your hands to get everything more evenly distributed.
Try to cut your wedges as evenly as possible to ensure they all cook at the same rate.
