    Ingredients

    Before you start to make this recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the cooking process will go smoothly and easily.

    Full measurements are in the recipe card below.

    Potatoes– for this recipe, we like to use Yukon Gold potatoes, russet potatoes, or red potatoes, but any potato kind will work great for this recipe!

    Paprika– use your favorite brand of paprika.

    Dried parsley- use your favorite brand of dried parsley.

    Olive oil- use extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor. If you don't want to use olive oil, you can use avocado oil, canola oil, or vegetable oil!

    Kosher salt– we used kosher salt in this recipe. You can use sea salt or flakey salt as well.

    Black pepper- use ground black pepper.

    Ketchup (optional) - for serving.

    Overheat shot of potatoes.

    Instructions

    Prep the potatoes by slicing the potato in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Place the cut side down and cut the potatoes into thick wedges.

    Place the potato wedges into a bowl with cold water, and let the potatoes soak for at least 30 minutes.

    Drain the potatoes and dry them completely with a clean towel or with paper towels.

    Place the potatoes into a medium-sized bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

    Mix well until the potato wedges are covered with the seasoning. Brush the air fryer basket with a tablespoon of olive oil.

    Place the potatoes into the air fryer and cook for 15-20 minutes at 200c (400f). Shaking the basket every 5 minutes.

    Serve the potato wedges as a side dish or as a snack with your ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dressing.

    Expert Tips

    • Ensure that you cut your potatoes into even pieces so they will bake evenly. Make sure that every piece of potato is about the same thickness and length.
    • Dip these in your favorite dressing like ketchup, mayonnaise, boom boom sauce, bang bang sauce, ranch, etc.
    • Soak your potatoes in cold water before baking them. This step makes them crispier. It reduces the amount of starch which makes them crispy and delish!
    • Make sure to dry out the potatoes with paper towels or a towel to make them crispy.
    • I highly suggest not overcrowding the air fryer basket, cook it in batches to make them cook properly.

    Faq's

    Why soak the potatoes in cold water?

    Soaking the potatoes in cold water makes them crispier, place the potatoes into a bowl with cold water and let the potatoes soak for at least 30 minutes, then drain the water and dry the potatoes completely with a towel or a paper towel.

    What are the best potatoes for this recipe?

    for this recipe, we like to use Yukon Gold potatoes or russet potatoes, but any potato kind will work great for this recipe!

    How long will these last?

    These will last up to 4 days stored in the fridge in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

    Storing

    If you have leftovers, you can store them in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat them in the microwave or in the toaster oven (or regular oven) until they are warm and crispy again.

    Freezing

    Let the potato wedges cool to room temperature, then place them in the freezer and stored them in an airtight freezer-friendly container for up to 2 months.

    When ready to use, place the potato wedges in the fridge overnight to defrost, or thaw it at room temperature for a few hours. Reheat in the oven at 200c (400f) for 5-10 minutes, or until crispy.

    Substitutions

    Seasoning- you can substitute the seasoning with your favorite mix of flavors that you like. You can use Italian seasoning, Mexican seasoning, greek seasoning, etc.

    Variations

    Spicy- if you like your potato wedges a little spicy (or a lot), you can add ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or ½ teaspoon of chili flakes.

    Everything bagel- if you are obsessed with everything bagel seasoning like us, you should try seasoning your potato wedges with everything bagel seasoning.

    Natural- if you like the natural flavor of potatoes, skip the spices, and add coat the potatoes with oil, salt, and black pepper for a natural potato flavor.

    Serving tips

    Serve the potato wedges as a side dish next to your favorite protein, or as a snack with your ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dressing.
