How To Make Air Fryer Potato Wedges
What Potatoes Are Best for Wedges
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:
- Cut your potato in half.
- Then cut that potato (half) into half.
- Then cut that potato in half.
- Finally, cut that potato in half.
You should end up with 8 potato wedges per each side of the potato. Per one potato, you should get about 16 wedges.
How To Season Your Potato Wedges
You can season them with anything you like. Today, I used simple spices, but some of my favorite seasonings are paprika, parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
