Air-fryer potato wedges are the perfect side dish for any meal, offering a delightful crunch while remaining remarkably simple to prepare. To make them, start by selecting fresh, firm potatoes—such as Maris Piper or Desiree—as they hold their shape beautifully. Cut the potatoes into thick wedges for that satisfying bite, and soak them briefly in water to remove excess starch, which helps achieve a crispier finish.

Once drained and patted dry, toss the wedges in a generous drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt, pepper, and your choice of herbs or spices—paprika and garlic powder work a treat. Pop them into the air fryer, and in just 20 minutes, you’ll have golden-brown wedges that are tender on the inside and perfectly crispy on the outside. Serve them alongside a hearty burger or enjoy them as a snack with a zingy dipping sauce. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself, these air-fryer potato wedges are sure to impress.
