Best Potatoes for Potato Wedges

Choose starchy potatoes like russet or Yukon Gold for optimal results. Steer clear of waxy potatoes such as fingerlings, as they tend to lose their structure during cooking.

How to Cut Potato Wedges

For wedges, halve the potato lengthwise. Then, quarter each half lengthwise. This yields 16 wedges. Align each potato quarter with the cut side up and slice down the center to create the wedge shape. Repeat for all quarters until the entire potato is transformed into wedges.

How to Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Detailed instructions are provided below, but in essence:

Seasoned potato wedges are arranged in the air fryer basket and cooked for 10 minutes.

Employ tongs to flip the wedges and continue cooking for an additional five minutes, ensuring maximum crispiness.

Soaking Suggestion:

While not mandatory, soaking the potato wedges in cold water for approximately 30 minutes before seasoning and air frying could yield even crispier results.

Air Fryer Potato Wedges Seasoning

These wedges are adorned with a delectable blend of paprika, parsley, chili, salt, and pepper. However, feel free to get inventive! Incorporate cayenne pepper for an extra kick or infuse herbal rosemary for a touch of earthiness. The spectrum of spices in your pantry is your only limitation.

How Long to Cook Potato Wedges In the Air Fryer

Expect the wedges to attain optimal crispiness in about 15 minutes (10 minutes on one side, five minutes on the other). If you desire a crisper texture, extend the air frying time on each side, taking care to avoid burning.

How to Store Potato Wedges

Allow the potato wedges to cool before storing. Store the leftover wedges in an airtight container or a zip-top bag lined with paper towels. Refrigerate for four to five days. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.

Can You Freeze Potato Wedges?

Indeed, you can freeze cooked potato wedges. Once completely cooled, place the wedges in an airtight freezer bag. Eliminate excess air, seal, label with the date, and freeze for up to three months. Thawing isn’t necessary – reheat the frozen wedges directly in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.
