Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Potato Wedges Recipe Tips

  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges so they cook at the same speed.
  • Use regular-cut bacon, not thick-cut, so it crisps fully in the air fryer.
  • Don’t overlap the wedges in the basket or pan or they’ll steam instead of crisp.
  • Flip halfway through cooking to brown the bacon on all sides.
  • If the bacon is done before the potatoes, lower the temperature and cook a few extra minutes.

Storing Instructions

  • Refrigerator: Let the wedges cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Freezer: Freezing isn’t recommended, as the potatoes can turn mealy and the bacon loses its crisp.
  • Reheating: Warm in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to bring back the crispiness.

Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Potato Wedges Recipe Faqs

Can I use thick-cut bacon? You can, but it won’t crisp as well. Regular-cut bacon works best in the air fryer.

Do I need to parboil the potatoes first? Nope. Cut them evenly and the air fryer will handle the rest.

What type of potatoes work best? Russet potatoes give you the crispiest outside and fluffy inside.

Can I make these ahead of time? They’re best fresh, but you can prep the wedges and wrap them in bacon a few hours ahead, then cook when ready.

How do I keep the bacon from unraveling? Wrap tightly and place the seam side down in the air fryer basket.

Can I add other seasonings? Yes. Paprika, garlic powder, or a little cayenne all work well if you want extra kick.
