Taste and texture:

These white potato wedges are the best! They are nice and crispy on the outside with a delicious Italian flavour, and the inside is moist and tender. These potatoes are not spicy, yet are seasoned perfectly so every bite is bursting with flavour.

Ingredients and substitutions: 

• Russet potatoes - these are my favourite type of potatoes for making extra crisp air fryer potato wedges, but you could also swap these for other another type of potato such as Yukon gold potatoes, depending on what you have on hand. 
• Olive oil or avocado oil - to help give the skin on these air fried potatoes that nice crisp texture. I don't recommend trying to make these potatoes oil free, they just don't crisp up enough when they cook.
• Seasonings - I use Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper but you could also change these up to give them the flavour you prefer. Other great options include everything but the bagel seasoning, rosemary, paprika, onion seasoning, garlic seasoning, greek seasoning or lemon pepper seasoning.

How to make:

Step one:

First, wash and dry the potatoes and then cut the potatoes into wedges.

Step two:

Next, place the potato wedges in a bowl of ice water and let them soak for 30 minutes. Then drain the water and dry the sliced potatoes.

Step three:

In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, oil, and spices and toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Step four:

Finally, place the potato wedges on the tray of your air fryer or in the basket and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 17-20 minutes.

Tips and variations: 

• Every model of air fryer is different so you may have to adjust the cooking time depending on the model you use. 
• Depending on the size of your potato wedges you may need to adjust the cooking time.
• Don't overlap the potato wedges when you cook them or they won't cook properly.
• If you skip the soaking step they won't turn out as crisp.
• I do not preheat the air fryer for this recipe. If you do preheat your air fryer, decrease the cooking time by a few minutes. 
• Feel free to change up the seasonings or spices on these potatoes. Other delicious options include dill, chili spice, or seasoning salt. 
• If you are using a basket style air fryer, be sure to give the basket a shake, or flip the potatoes half way through to ensure they cook evenly on all sides.

How to serve:

Serve potato wedges with ketchup, mayonnaise, aioli, hot sauce or bbq sauce. They also pair really well with burgers, turkey burgers, pork chops, lamb chops, chicken tenders, or chicken wings.

These potatoes are also great to serve for breakfast and pair really well with eggs, bacon and sausages.
