These Potato Wedges are quick and easy to make, and they’re perfect for when you want a tasty snack or side dish without all the fuss.
Why You‘ll Love This Recipe
Among all the potato recipes I love, like Potato Fritters, Potato Galette, and Mashed Potato Dinner Rolls, these Air Fryer Potato Wedges have become my absolute favorite.
They’re incredibly easy to make, using just pantry-friendly ingredients you likely already have on hand.
And the best part? There’s no deep-frying involved, which makes them a healthier option without sacrificing any flavor or crunch!
Honestly, when my husband said, “These are a hundred times better than regular fries,” I couldn’t help but smile. I’ve heard this compliment many times before, but it still makes me proud every time he says it.
I like to keep the potato skins on for extra texture and flavor, but you can definitely peel the potatoes if you prefer a smoother bite.
For the garlic, I wrap it in aluminum foil and air fry it. The roasting process brings out the sweet, rich flavor of the garlic, which makes the dipping sauce extra special.
After making the creamy dipping sauce, you can either toss the potato wedges in it for full flavor coverage or keep it on the side as a dipping sauce—either way, it’s incredibly tasty and makes these wedges even more irresistible!
Ingredients
- 2-3 potatoes (adjust according to the number of servings)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Dipping Sauce:
- 2 heads garlic
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp chopped parsley
- 1 tsp olive oil (drizzle over the cut garlic)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the potatoes: Wash the potatoes and cut them into wedges. The size of the wedges can be adjusted according to personal preference, but try to keep them consistent to ensure even cooking.
Season the potatoes: Place the cut potato wedges into a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with black pepper and sea salt. Toss the wedges with your hands or a stirring tool to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasoning. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Prepare the garlic: Take 2 heads of garlic and cut off the top of each. Drizzle a little olive oil over the cut garlic, then wrap the garlic in aluminum foil for roasting separately in the air fryer.
Air fry the ingredients: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (392°F). Place the prepared potato wedges into the air fryer basket and add the wrapped garlic. Set the air fryer to cook at 200°C for 30 minutes. During the cooking process, you can shake the basket midway to ensure the wedges cook evenly.
Make the garlic sauce: Once the potato wedges and garlic are done, carefully unwrap the garlic and squeeze the roasted garlic into a small bowl. Add the mayonnaise, chopped parsley, and black pepper, and mix well to make the garlic sauce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, you can use any type of potato you prefer, though russet or Yukon Gold potatoes tend to work best for wedges due to their starchy texture.
How do I store leftovers?
Leftover potato wedges can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them up again.
