If you're craving crispy, seasoned potato wedges without the fuss of deep frying or the wait of baking, you're going to love these Air Fryer Potato Wedges. They’re golden on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor—plus, they’re ready in under 30 minutes!
The air fryer is one of my favorite kitchen appliances for cooking frozen food. Check out some of these recipes for Air Fryer Chicken Cordon Blue, Air Fryer Grilled Cheese, Air Fryer Frozen Onion Rings, and Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan.
For the longest time, the only type of potato going into my air fryer was a frozen store-bought french fry. THAT’S IT. My go-to air fryer setting for a lot of frozen food is 350 for 12 minutes. That does the trick all the time for any type of Ore Ida frozen potato or frozen food in general that can be cooked in your air fryer.

Ingredients Needed
- Potatoes - The best potatoes for French fries are Russet potatoes. They have a high starch content which results in a crispy exterior and fluffy interior. Other varieties of potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes are perfect for making french fries in your air fryer!
- Cooking Spray - I like to use a Cooking spray to keep the calories low and it helps get the potatoes extra crispy. Olive oil is also a good choice to rub over the potatoes.
- Seasoning salt of choice - I prefer Dano's or a Blackened Seasoning.
- Salt and Pepper - to taste
- See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

Recipe FAQS
Yes! Just adjust cooking time slightly and expect a softer texture.
You can skip the oil, but they won’t crisp up quite the same. A light spray helps!
Some air fryers require preheating and some do not. Be sure to check your air fryer manual.
No, You do not need to soak the raw potatoes in any water at all before air frying. This just removes any excess potato starch and helps the potatoes achieve maximum crispiness in the deep fryer.
The air fryer takes care of the crisp factor for you. For the longest time, I was skeptical about cooking raw potatoes in the air fryer because of having to soak the potatoes overnight, and now I am not anymore. You get the same results roasting these in the oven. Which there are instructions below.

I love this! I added Cajun Seasoning, Salt, Pepper, Parsley Flakes, and All-Purpose Seasoning to create delicious potato wedges. It looked just as good as it tasted, and I will make this again, for sure!!
