How An Air Fryer Works?
An air fryer is basically a mini convection oven that sits on your countertop. An air fryer cooks with oil rather than oil.
An Air fryer has a heating element that circulates hot air through a fan around your food. This makes your food crispy from the outside, keeping the juiciness and moistness on the inside.
Ingredients Used In The Recipe
- Potato wedges: A bag of frozen potato wedges.
- Oil (optional): I haven’t used oil to make the potato wedges. But if you guys love extra crispy potatoes, you can brush a little bit of oil. Try using olive oil or grape seed oil to make them healthier.
- Seasonings: as I made frozen potato wedges, they came pre-seasoned. You can also try using garlic powder or any other seasoning that you guys like.
How To Make Potato Wedges In An Air Fryer?
See the recipe card for complete instructions
Preparation: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for a few minutes. You can completely skip this part. As I am a baker, I tend to preheat the air fryer as well. Place liners in the air fryer basket.
Put Wedges In Air Fryer: Place the potato wedges in the basket in one layer. Do not place too many potato wedges at once. Doing this may result in unevenly cooked potato wedges.
Bake: Bake them for 10-15 minutes or until crispy enough for you. Toss them halfway through cooking to ensure even cooking.
Serve: Carefully remove the potato wedges from the basket. Serve hot! With your favorite dip or sauce.
