TIPS FOR THE BEST AIR FRYER POTATO WEDGES

Using an air fryer to make potato wedges is an excellent way to get crispy, golden-brown fries with less oil. To achieve the greatest potato wedges in an air fryer, follow these tips:

CHOOSE THE RIGHT POTATOES

Russet potatoes have a starchy texture that makes them perfect for turning into potato wedges, as this helps them have a crispy texture. But if you do not have them on hand, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes as a substitute.

SINGLE LAYER

Ensure the wedges are not packed too tightly in the air fryer basket. The proper way to cook them is to lay them in a single layer. This facilitates even cooking and appropriate hot air movement.

SHAKE THE BASKET AIR FRYER

To ensure that the potato wedges are cooked thoroughly on all sides, shake the air fryer basket or flip them halfway during the cooking period.
