How to Air Fry Potato Wedges
Краткий ответ
Air fry potato wedges at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway, until golden-brown on the outside and fluffy inside. Soaking in cold water before cooking removes excess starch for crispier results.
Prep and Soaking
Scrub potatoes and cut into 8 wedges (halve, then quarter each half). Soak in cold water for 20–30 minutes to remove surface starch. Drain and dry very thoroughly — any remaining moisture prevents crisping. Toss with oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and oregano.
Temperature and Time
Arrange wedges in a single layer in the basket — skin-side down is ideal. Air fry at 400°F (205°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking or flipping at the halfway mark. They are done when the exterior is deeply golden and the interior is soft when pierced.
Skin-On vs. Skin-Off
Leaving the skin on gives more flavor and a crunchier edge. Russet potatoes are ideal for fluffy interiors; Yukon Gold for a creamier texture. Avoid waxy potatoes like red potatoes — they don't get as fluffy inside.
Serving
Serve with ketchup, aioli, sour cream and chives, or malt vinegar. Potato wedges work as a side to burgers, grilled fish, or barbecue, or as a snack on their own.
