Air Fryer Potato Wedges (Print Version)

Golden potato wedges air-fried to crispiness, served with a creamy spring onion dip.

# Components:

→ Potato Wedges

01 - 1.75 lbs russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
02 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
05 - 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
06 - 1 teaspoon salt
07 - 1 tablespoon corn starch, optional

→ Spring Onion Dip

08 - 5.3 oz sour cream
09 - 3.5 oz Greek yogurt
10 - 3 spring onions, finely sliced
11 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
12 - 0.5 teaspoon salt
13 - 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
14 - 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

# Directions:

01 - Set air fryer to 390°F and allow to preheat for 3 minutes.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, salt, and corn starch. Toss until all wedges are evenly coated with seasonings.
03 - Place seasoned wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to maintain even spacing.
04 - Air fry for 20 to 25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until wedges are golden brown and crispy.
05 - While potatoes cook, whisk together sour cream, Greek yogurt, sliced spring onions, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a medium bowl until smooth. Refrigerate until serving.
06 - Transfer hot potato wedges to a serving plate and accompany with chilled spring onion dip on the side.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Genuinely crispy outside and fluffy inside—no oil splatters or deep-frying mess required.
  • The spring onion dip tastes elegant enough for entertaining but comes together faster than heating a jar of store-bought sauce.
  • Ready in 40 minutes flat, which means you can go from craving to eating without the afternoon staring at a cookbook.
02 -
  • Shaking the basket halfway through isn't optional—potatoes that don't move tend to brown unevenly and develop soft spots.
  • Don't skip the lemon juice in the dip; it's the difference between tasting like you made it yourself versus tasting like something from a grocery store container.
03 -
  • Pat your potatoes completely dry after washing—any lingering moisture fights against the crisping you're after.
  • If your air fryer runs hotter than average, check the wedges at 18 minutes rather than waiting the full 20; every machine has its own personality.
