Description
Crispy and flavorful Air Fryer Potato Wedges made with golden potatoes, olive oil, and ranch seasoning, offering a perfect snack or side dish that’s easy to prepare and healthier than traditional frying.
Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 24 oz Gold Potatoes, cut into wedges
Seasoning
- 1 Tbsp (16g) Olive Oil, divided
- 1 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the gold potatoes thoroughly and dry them completely. Cut each potato in half lengthwise with the cut side down, then cut each half into 3 wedges to create uniformly sized pieces for even cooking.
- Coat Potatoes with Oil: Pat the potato wedges dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Place them in a large bowl and toss with half of the olive oil (1/2 Tbsp or 8g) to lightly coat the wedges before placing them in the air fryer basket.
- Initial Air Fry: Set the air fryer to 400ºF and cook the potato wedges for 20 minutes. Shake or toss the basket once or twice during cooking to ensure even browning and cooking throughout.
- Add Seasoning: After 20 minutes, transfer the potato wedges back to the bowl. Toss with the remaining 1/2 Tbsp (8g) of olive oil to re-coat, then sprinkle the ranch seasoning evenly over the wedges and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Final Air Fry: Return the seasoned wedges to the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5 to 8 minutes at 400ºF, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
Notes
- Make sure the potato wedges are uniformly sized for even cooking.
- Patting the potatoes dry before oiling helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Shaking the air fryer basket during cooking prevents sticking and promotes even browning.
- You can adjust ranch seasoning quantity to taste or substitute with other seasoning blends as preferred.
- This recipe works best with an air fryer that circulates hot air efficiently.
