Air Fryer Potato Wedges
So easy to prep, quick to cook and better for you than deep frying, our Air Fryer Potato Wedges will quickly become your go-to side dish.
Go ahead and admit it, there’s nothing quite like homemade French fries. And when those fries are cut into chunky wedges, even better!
Air frying potatoes wedges will give you a crispy outside and soft inside.
If you like your fries to be good and crispy, after cutting the potatoes soak them in hot water for 10 minutes. Drain and pat dry and then continue with the recipe.
The hot water draws out the starch in the potatoes which in turn makes them crispier on the outside.
To peel or not to peel, that is the question. And that is a personal preference. There’s no right or wrong answer. Either way, your potato fries will taste delicious.
