To make Air Fryer Garlic Herb Potato Wedges, gather these simple ingredients: - 4 medium russet potatoes - 3 tablespoons olive oil - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 tablespoon dried oregano - 1 tablespoon dried thyme - 1 teaspoon paprika - 1 teaspoon salt - ½ teaspoon black pepper - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Using russet potatoes gives a nice texture. They turn crispy on the outside and soft inside. Olive oil adds flavor and helps with browning. Fresh garlic brings a bold taste, while the herbs add depth. Feel free to adjust the spices to match your taste. If you love heat, add more paprika. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less garlic. The fresh parsley at the end adds a pop of color and freshness. Now, let’s get ready to cook! First, set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Let it preheat for about 5 minutes. This step helps the wedges cook evenly and become crispy. Next, wash your 4 medium russet potatoes. Cut them into wedges, making sure they are all about the same size. In a large bowl, toss the wedges with 3 tablespoons of olive oil. This step is key for flavor. Now, add 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon of dried thyme. Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything well. Make sure each wedge gets coated in that tasty mix. Place your seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket. Arrange them in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding. If you have too many, cook them in batches. This ensures they get crispy all over. Cook the wedges for about 15-20 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket. This helps them cook evenly. Keep an eye on them. You want them golden brown and crispy on the outside. When they’re done, use tongs to carefully take them out. Place the wedges on a serving plate. To finish, sprinkle some fresh chopped parsley on top. Enjoy your crispy delight! To get those potato wedges nice and crispy, start by soaking them. Rinse the cut wedges in cold water for about 30 minutes. This step helps remove excess starch. After soaking, dry them well with a clean towel. The less moisture, the crispier they will be. When you toss them in olive oil, make sure they are evenly coated, but not dripping. Spread the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer. If they are too crowded, they will steam rather than crisp. The beauty of these potato wedges is in the spices. Feel free to mix and match! If you love heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. Want something zesty? A sprinkle of lemon zest works wonders. I often play with fresh herbs, too. Try fresh thyme or rosemary if you have them. Remember, you can always taste the mix before cooking. Adjust the salt and pepper to your liking. This way, you make sure every bite is packed with flavor. Keeping your air fryer clean helps it last longer and work better. After each use, wipe down the basket and the inner surface with a damp cloth. If there’s stubborn food stuck on, soak the basket in warm soapy water for a bit. Avoid using metal utensils, as they can scratch the surface. Regularly check the air fryer’s filters, too. A clean air fryer cooks evenly and gives you those perfect crispy potato wedges every time. {{image_2}} For a kick, add heat to your potato wedges. Mix in 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper with the other seasonings. This spice gives a nice warmth. If you want more heat, add more cayenne. You can also serve these wedges with a spicy dipping sauce. A chipotle mayo works great! If you love cheese, this version is for you. After cooking the wedges, sprinkle ½ cup of shredded cheese on top. Cheddar or mozzarella both work well. Pop the basket back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes. This melts the cheese and adds a creamy texture. You can easily make these potato wedges vegan. Simply use a vegan oil, like avocado or coconut oil. All the seasonings are vegan-friendly, so no need to change those. Garnish with fresh herbs for a tasty touch. These options keep the flavors bold and fun! To keep your leftover potato wedges fresh, let them cool first. Once cooled, place them in an airtight container. You can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, consider freezing. When you're ready to enjoy the leftover wedges, preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). This temperature helps them get crispy again. Place the wedges in the basket in a single layer. Heat them for about 5-7 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through to ensure even heating. If you want to freeze your potato wedges, first let them cool completely. Spread them out on a baking sheet in a single layer. Freeze them for about 1-2 hours until firm. Then, transfer the wedges to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last for up to 2 months. When you're ready to eat, cook them straight from frozen for about 15-20 minutes in the air fryer. You cook potato wedges for 15 to 20 minutes. Start at 400°F (200°C). Shake the basket halfway to help them cook evenly. They should turn golden brown and crispy when done. If you want extra crispiness, add a few more minutes. Yes, you can use other potatoes. Yukon Gold or sweet potatoes work well. Each type has a different flavor. Just cut them into wedges like russet potatoes. Cooking times may vary slightly, so check for doneness. Dipping sauces add fun to potato wedges. Try these options: - Ketchup - Ranch dressing - Garlic aioli - Spicy mayo - BBQ sauce Feel free to mix your favorite sauces. The options are endless! You now have a clear path to making tasty air fryer potato wedges. We covered key ingredients and helpful steps to guide you. Remember to adjust seasonings to suit your taste.
