Why We Love These Seasonings…

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (or 360°F).
Step 1: Slice the Potatoes
Start by giving your potatoes a good scrub. No need to peel unless you want to.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then into 3 or 4 wedges per half, depending on the size. Aim for even pieces so they cook uniformly.
Step 2: Optional – Cold Water Soak
Want extra crispy wedges? Soak them in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove excess starch. Then pat completely dry with a paper towel.
Step 3: Season the Wedges
In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, Herbes de Provence, and freshly ground black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat each wedge in the seasoned oil mixture.
Step 4: Air Fry
Arrange the wedges in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
Cook at 180°C (360°F) for 15–18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even crisping.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
As soon as they’re golden and crisp, serve hot. Pair them with your favorite dip or just enjoy as-is—these wedges are packed with flavor!
Variations
• Zesty Lemon-Herb – Add a splash of lemon juice and a little grated zest right before serving.
• Spicy Kick – Toss with a pinch of chili flakes or smoked paprika for extra heat before cooking.
• Cheesy Garlic – Sprinkle with grated parmesan and chopped parsley after air frying.
• Vegan Ranch Twist – Season with dill, onion powder, garlic, and a touch of nutritional yeast for that cool ranch vibe.
How to Store & Reheat Air Fryer Wedges
Let your wedges cool fully before storing to keep them from going soggy.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
To reheat: pop them back in the air fryer at 200°C (400°F) for 5–6 minutes until hot and crispy.
