    ingredients

    This segment explains the best ingredients for making air fryer potato wedges and possible options for substitution. For measurements, see the recipe card provided at the bottom of this page.

    A picture showing the ingredients needed to make this recipe.
    • Russet (Idaho) potatoes – while you can use Yukon Gold or red potatoes, the Russet variety is starchier and lower in moisture than most varieties, making them great for potato wedges and fries. As a result, they crispen up well outside but still remain soft and fluffy inside due to their mealy flesh.
    • Olive oil – use or any cooking oil that can handle high heat.
    • Cornstarch – helps crispen up the potatoes.
    • Herbs - chopped parsley or your favorite herbs, such as rosemary or thyme.
    • Seasoning - salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika powder, and onion powder.

    how to make ninja air fryer potato wedges

    This is an overview. The full instructions as well as the step by step recipe pictures have been provided in the recipe card below.

    • Clean the potatoes, cut them into wedges, and then soak (optional). Discard the soaking water, transfer the potatoes to a bowl, and top with olive oil.
    • Add the seasoning and some of the parsley, then combine. Reserve some parsley for garnishing.
    • Mix in the cornstarch, transfer the potato wedges to your air fryer basket and air fry until cooked through and crispy on the outside.
    • Serve!

    useful tips

    • As a variation, feel free to use your favorite seasonings to make these potato wedges. You can also use more or less of the seasoning, depending on your taste.
    • For crispy wedges, soak the wedges in ice-cold water for at least 30 minutes before air frying. This is an optional step that I do not recommend skipping.
    • To prevent the wedges from turning soggy, do not overcrowd them in the air fryer basket. Also, try to avoid using too much oil.
    • The cornstarch helps crispen the wedges up; it forms a coating that helps draw moisture from the potatoes, thereby making them crispy. I therefore also do not recommend skipping this.

    Serving Suggestions: My favorite ways to serve these seasoned air fryer potato wedges is with some ketchup, sour cream, homemade barbecue sauce, honey mustard sauce, or some guacamole Yucatan! But do not let this limit you, simply feel free to serve them with your favorite dipping sauces!

    • Set your Air Fryer to 400°F (approximately 200°C) and air fry for 20-25 minutes until cooked. Check mid-cooking and flip or shake your air fryer basket. You will know they are done when the potatoes are golden and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy inside.

    Notes

    • For crispy wedges, soak the wedges in ice-cold water for at least 30 minutes before air frying. This is an optional step which I do not recommend skipping.
    • To prevent the wedges from turning soggy, do not overcrowd them in the air fryer basket. Also try to avoid using too much oil.
    • The cornstarch helps crispen the wedges; it forms a coating that helps draw moisture from the potatoes, thereby making them crispy. I therefore do not recommend skipping this either.
    • Use more or less of the seasoning, according to your taste.
     
    I made this recipe using the Ninja Foodi Max Multi-cooker but you can also use other types of air fryers. In this regard, bear in mind that different air fryers cook differently. You should, therefore, keep an eye on your wedges and adjust the time accordingly, if needed. Also, note that thickly sliced wedges will require longer to cook.
    Nutritional information is an estimate calculated using tools we use and will vary, depending on the ingredients used. It is therefore important that you make your own calculation.

    frequently asked questions

    Why do you soak potatoes in water before air frying?

    Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water helps draw out some of the starch that is naturally present in potatoes resulting in crispier air-fried potatoes. It also helps get rid of excess starch that would otherwise make the wedges stick together. Soak your potatoes for at least 30 minutes or longer, if you prefer them crispier.

    How long and at what temperature should I air fry potato wedges?

    Air fry potato wedges at 400°F (approximately 200°C) for 20-25 minutes, making sure to flip or shake your basket mid-cooking. Because different air fryers cook differently, you should certainly keep an eye on your wedges and adjust the time accordingly, if needed. Also, note that thickly sliced wedges will require longer to cook.

    How do I reheat potato wedges in the air fryer?

    To reheat potato wedges in the air fryer, follow the following steps:-
    1. Lightly coat your potato wedges with some cooking oil.
    2. Program your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
    3. Without overcrowding, place the cooked wedges on the air fryer basket.
    4. Reheat the wedges in the air fryer for 3-8 minutes, or until warmed through, making sure to turn them or shake your basket midway through.
