Instructions
How to Cut and Prep Potatoes for making crispy wedges
- First, scrub the potatoes well and wipe dry using a kitchen towel.
- Cut the Potato in half (lengthwise)
- Further, cut each half of the potato into two parts.
- Each of the 4 quarters can be divided into 2-3 thick wedges, depending on the size of the potatoes.
- Soak the potatoes in ice cold water for 20 mins (to get rid of excess starch).
- Drain the water completely after 20 mins, pat dry using a dry kitchen towel. Air dry it for a few minutes to ensure there is no moisture.
Air Frying Potato Wedges
- Pre-heat the air fryer at 180 degree Celsius for 3-4 minutes. Brush / spray oil in the basket / mesh to prevent the wedges from sticking.
- Into a bowl, add the potato wedges, spices, seasoning and oil. Mix well until the potatoes are coated with the spices.
- Add the wedges to the air fryer basket and air fry at 180 Degree Celsius for 15 minutes (I had to air fry in 2 batches). Remove and shake the basket in between to ensure the wedges are evenly crisped.
- Serve piping hot with a dip of your choice.
Notes
Ingredients and Substitutes -
- Potatoes - Avoid new potatoes or waxy potatoes for fries and wedges as they have high moisture content. The wedges would be soggy and not crisp up!
- Spices / Seasoning - Some of the options are Italian Herbs and Peri Peri. You can also add onion powder with garlic powder.
- I have used Extra Virgin Olive Oil. However, use any oil that has a high smoking point. Avocado Oil, Sesame, Coconut are perfect options.
- Oil Free Potato Wedges - Unless you have been advised "no oil" diet. A little fat is essential for flavor and taste. Oil Free potato wedges would taste dry and needs to be consumed immediately.
- Pre-heat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10 mins. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or grease the tray with oil and add the seasoned wedges.
- Bake potato wedges at 180 degree Celsius for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- 15 mins into baking, remove the tray carefully, turn the potato wedges using tongs and place it back in the oven for even roasting.
