Crispy Seasoned Potato Wedges —wedges of fluffy potatoes seasoned with an incredible mix of spices and made crisp in the air fryer.
A healthier easier version of deep-fried potatoes, these delicious Crispy Seasoned Potato Wedges are crispy that tasty even with very little oil. The air fryer uses a constant flow of hot air to quickly and evenly cook food without the use of excessive fat. In some cases, a tiny spritz of oil helps to ensure maximum crispness but it’s generally not necessary. All you really need is quality ingredients and desired spices.
What you need to make crispy seasoned potato wedges
Russet potatoes– Russets make more firm and crisp wedges than other potatoes. However, gold potatoes are very tasty and will crisp up Mickey as well.
All-purpose seasoning– You should definitely make a batch of my All-Purpose Seasoning Blend. It’s great for all sorts of dishes like my Pan-Seared Chicken Breast and roasted vegetables. Otherwise, you can purchase a brand such as McCormick (affiliate link).

Paper towels

Parboil potatoes quick soak method
While the wedges will cook through without parboiling, using this method to quick soak the potatoes helps to quickly remove the start heat producing a fluffier more crisp potato.They also crisp more when they are cooked twice so the parboiling will partially cook them making them more crispy.
