Perfectly seasoned Air Fryer Potato Wedges are delightfully crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Simple to prep and quick to cook, enjoy these potato wedges as an appetizer with dips or as a hearty side with sandwiches, burgers, and more.

Easy Potato Wedges

Piping hot, perfectly salty, and ultra crispy potato wedges are always a good idea! Thanks to the air fryer, these potato wedges come together quickly and easily—no oven required. Fancy them up with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of rosemary, or serve them bar style with a variety of dips. These potatoes are a wonderful blank slate for a variety of spices and flavors. I love adding garlic, oregano, and lemon pepper seasoning. Feel free to change up the seasoning and use your favorite spices!

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges Step by Step

Prep the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.

Prep the potatoes: Wash and scrub 3 Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes and dry thoroughly. On a cutting board, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Cut in half again, and then cut once more for a total of 8 wedges.
