Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Today, we’re making air fryer potato wedges, the perfect snack for kids and an excellent accompaniment for drinks when you’re feeling peckish. This golden recipe allows you to enjoy them crispy without deep-frying, making them healthier. Let’s follow along step-by-step!
Step 2
First, let’s prepare the potatoes that will make these wedges so delicious. Since we’re cooking them with the skin on, scrub them thoroughly with a brush to remove any dirt or debris. Then, cut each potato in half lengthwise, and cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the potato’s size. For larger potatoes, cut into 4, and for smaller ones, cut into 3. Soaking the cut potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier wedges.
Step 3
After soaking, drain the potatoes thoroughly in a colander. Pat them completely dry with paper towels. Ensuring the potatoes are dry is crucial for achieving a crispy texture and helping the seasonings adhere well.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to season the potatoes. Place the prepared potato wedges in a bowl. Add the olive oil (4 tsp), salt (1 tsp), black pepper (1/2 tsp), and dried parsley (1 tsp). If you prefer a hint of sweetness, you can add a pinch of sugar. Feel free to omit the sugar if you’re not a fan of sweet flavors.
Step 5
Gently toss the potato wedges with your hands to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning. Make sure each wedge is well-covered for maximum flavor. Let the seasoned wedges sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 6
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, carefully flip the wedges and cook for another 15 minutes at the same temperature. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the potatoes, so it’s a good idea to check them periodically.
Step 7
And there you have it! Perfectly golden and crispy on the outside, tender on the inside – your delicious air fryer potato wedges are ready! Enjoy this delightful snack that’s never tough and always satisfying. Make it a happy mealtime for the whole family!
