Description

Crispy and flavorful air fryer potato wedges made with simple ingredients and ready in just 20 minutes. Perfectly seasoned with garlic, thyme, and a touch of baking soda for extra crispness, these wedges are an easy and delicious side dish or snack.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste (½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the potato wedges.
  2. Prepare the potato wedges: Rinse the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato in half, then cut each half into four thick strips to create wedges. Place the wedges into a large bowl.
  3. Season and coat: Drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the potato wedges. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon dried thyme, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper evenly over the wedges. Toss everything well to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Air fry the wedges: Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer inside the preheated air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding for even cooking. Cook for a total of 15 minutes at 400°F, flipping once or shaking the basket vigorously halfway through the cooking time to ensure crispness on all sides.
  5. Serve hot: Once cooked to a crispy golden brown, remove the wedges from the air fryer and serve warm. Enjoy them with ketchup, remoulade sauce, or your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

  • To achieve extra crispy wedges, ensure they are cut evenly for uniform cooking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for best results.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs like rosemary or paprika for different flavor profiles.
  • Use fresh potatoes and avoid soaking them to retain their natural texture.
  • Adjust seasoning amounts to your preference, especially salt and pepper.
