Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these wedges are perfect for kids’ snacks and even make a satisfying light meal. Let’s make this wonderful dish using seasonal potatoes!
Main Ingredients- 4 potatoes
- 1 Tbsp frying powder
- 1 Tbsp curry powder
- A little dried parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
We’ll be using the potato skins, so wash them thoroughly. You can use baking soda or coarse salt to scrub them well. Keeping the skin on adds nutrients and a richer flavor.
Step 2
Cut the washed potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Cutting each potato into about 8 wedges, like half-moons, helps them cook evenly in the air fryer. Avoid cutting them too thin, as they might fall apart.
Step 3
To ensure the coating becomes extra crispy, we need to remove the starch from the cut potatoes. Place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and soak them for about 20 minutes. Changing the water once during this time will help remove more starch.
Step 4
Now, let’s season the potatoes. After draining the water, add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the potato wedges and toss gently. This step allows the salt to penetrate the potatoes, making them more flavorful from the inside out.
Step 5
Once drained, pat the potato wedges completely dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen cloth. It’s crucial to remove as much moisture as possible, as any remaining water can make the coating soggy.
Step 6
It’s time to coat the potatoes. Transfer all the dried potato wedges into a large resealable bag or a spacious bowl.
Step 7
First, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of frying powder evenly over the potatoes. Frying powder helps absorb some moisture and contributes to a crispy exterior.
Step 8
Next, add 1 tablespoon of curry powder. The curry powder will give the potato wedges a beautiful color and a wonderful aroma that enhances the potato’s natural flavor. If using a resealable bag, close it securely and shake to distribute.
Step 9
After mixing the frying powder and curry powder, add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. The oil will coat the wedges, making them even crispier. Finally, sprinkle in the dried parsley for an aromatic touch. Close the bag and shake well to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed on the potato wedges. This completes the seasoning process.
Step 10
Using a resealable bag made seasoning the potato wedges incredibly simple and mess-free. They’re ready to go into the air fryer for delicious results!
Step 11
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. This allows air to circulate freely, ensuring they cook evenly and get crispy all around.
Step 12
Place the potato wedges in a preheated air fryer set to 180℃ (350℉) and cook for the first 10 minutes. It’s a good idea to check their condition after these initial 10 minutes.
Step 13
Cook for a total of 15 to 20 minutes, opening the basket every 5-7 minutes to flip or shake the wedges. This ensures all sides become golden brown and perfectly cooked. Keep an eye on them and adjust the time as needed until they are golden and cooked through.
Step 14
While the potato wedges are air-frying to perfection, you can take this time to cut up some fresh fruit. Serving a colorful plate of fruit alongside will make the snack time even more delightful for the kids.
Step 15
The curry powder gives them such a lovely color, and the seasoning is just right – they taste delicious even without any dipping sauce! The combination of crispy exterior and tender interior is irresistible for both kids and adults.
Step 16
What are crispy potato wedges without ketchup? Serve them with ketchup, or offer other dipping sauces like sweet chili sauce according to your preference.
Step 17
Seeing my sons enjoy these so much makes me happy. However, looking at these delicious wedges honestly makes me crave a cold beer! They are also a fantastic snack for adults.
Step 18
Enjoy these simple curry potato wedges made easily in your air fryer! Elevate your snack time with the aromatic curry flavor and the delightful crispy-outside, tender-inside texture. Have a wonderful day with these tasty wedges!
