Equipment
- Basket air fryer, sized to hold one loose layer
- Scale, bowl and tongs
Before you begin
Use metric weights for the most consistent result. US volumes are approximate; oven temperatures refer to a conventional oven unless stated otherwise.
- Do not make thick wedges or pile them deep; use a large basket or allow extra batch time.
- The stated time excludes extra batches; follow your air-fryer manual for minimum load, preheating and safe operation.
Make it work
- Uneven browning: leave more space and turn the food as directed.
- Undercooked center: extend cooking and check thickness; browning alone does not establish safe meat doneness.

Ingredients
- 1 1/3 lb (600 g) potatoes, scrubbed
- 1/2 tsp (0.5 g) dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
- 1 tsp (2 g) paprika
- 1/2 tsp (3 g) fine salt
- 1/4 tsp (0.5 g) ground black pepper
Step-by-step method
- Prepare the ingredients
Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges about 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) thick at their widest point. Rinse, then dry thoroughly with a towel. Toss with oil, paprika, rosemary, salt and pepper. - Heat the air fryer
Preheat according to your appliance manual to 390°F (200°C). Use the basket insert so air can circulate. Do not use loose parchment during preheating. - Arrange without crowding
Place the food in the basket in a loose, even layer, leaving room for air to move. If it does not fit, cook in batches; the listed cooking time assumes one batch. - Air fry and turn
Cook for 20–25 minutes, shaking at 10 and 18 minutes. Appliance power and food thickness vary, so start checking at the lower end of the range. - Check doneness
Finish when the centers pierce easily with a fork and the edges are browned. Extend cooking in short intervals if needed, rather than serving underdone food to meet the timer. - Finish and portion
Divide into three side-dish portions and serve hot. No dipping sauce is included.
Cook’s notes
Do not make thick wedges or pile them deep; use a large basket or allow extra batch time. This recipe uses an air fryer and includes only the ingredients listed.
Storage & reheating
- Refrigerate in shallow covered containers within 2 hours, at 40°F (4°C) or colder; use within 3 days.
- Reheat cooked leftovers until the center reaches 165°F (74°C). Freeze suitable portions for up to 2 months for best quality; thaw in the refrigerator.
