Air Fryer Spiced Potato Wedges are the perfect healthy alternative to French fries, with their crispy finish and golden-fried hue.

Raise your hand if you like to turn your oven on in the summer?


Yep, just as I thought. Zero hands. It’s 90 degrees here in Chicago, so I can only imagine what it’s like for my friends south of the Mason Dixon. I’ve been eating a lot of pineapple (carbs), beef jerky (protein), and sunflower seeds (healthy fats), just to avoid cooking. Friends, I do realize this is a sad, sad, excuse of a diet for someone who works in the food business AND runs a food blog.

And if I’m being totally honest, the heat situation hasn’t stopped me from turning my oven on to make Strawberry Lemon Bars (coming soon), Cupboard Cookies (coming soon), and Better Than Boyfriend Brownies (coming soon). Obviously, I have very specific tastes (yum, sugar) when it comes to baking things in my oven.

But Air Fryer Spiced Potato Wedges are oven-free (and deep fryer-free, heyyyo!) and that makes them totally doable and easy any time of year, even in sub-Sahara temps. You won’t set your entire house aflame with the heat of your huge 350 degree oven. And you won’t have to submerge your fresh potatoes in hot oil. And ya know what? Air Fryer Spiced Potato Wedges will still have that nice crispy finish with golden-fried hue.

Pair Potato Wedges will all your favorite outdoor or finger foods, like Chile-Mint Mahi Mahi Burgers, Air Fryer Buffalo Wings, or Easy No-Filler Crab Cakes.

    Hi, why can’t we just coat the wedges before putting them in the air fryer? What difference does cooking them first then coating in spices make? Just curious as every other recipe says to coat them first and most of them seem to come out fine. Thinking maybe you could explain the reason for doing it this way in the text since this is such a variation on a regular wedges recipe.

      Hi Mike, you are so observant! For dry seasonings, it doesn’t matter if you add them before or after baking/air frying. If you’d prefer to do that first, go right ahead! I think I like to do it after because I can use the time that the potatoes are in the air fryer to mix the seasonings together. However, keep in mind if you’re adding wet seasonings (like vinegar), THAT should be done after. If done before, it’s possible that your potatoes wedges might come out soggy.

    I used baby red potatoes cut into 4 or 6 wedges. The seasoning was flavorful and not overpowering. I m new to air frying and like recipes that turn out right the first time. I would make this again.
