I usually use a Russet potato, as they tend to hold their shape better in the air fryer. They also crisp up easily.
Any baking potato would do. A great alternative would be Sweet Potato Wedges. Those would work fabulously in the air fryer.
How To Cut Potatoes into wedges
You will soon learn that making potato wedges are so much easier than making homemade french fries. With a few simple cuts, you can make perfect wedges.
Here are the simple steps:
