Tips and Tricks for air fried potato wedges
- Soaking cut potatoes in cold water before frying or air frying them is a pro tip! Soaking pulls starch out of the potatoes, making them less sticky and better able to cook up crispy. It makes the inside texture of the fries fluffier as well.
- I use russet potatoes for a couple of reasons. One, they are typically long, slender potatoes, so they are shaped perfectly for cutting wedges. Other potatoes are more spherical, and won’t make good wedges. Secondly, the texture of russet potatoes is just preferred when making french fries in the air fryer. It’s lighter and fluffier when cooked since Russets are less waxy than yellow or white potatoes.
- Cook air fryer potato wedges in a single layer in your air fryer. Resist the urge to stack them on top of each other.
