I love potatoes!  We here at MVF eat potatoes regularly. I do feel sorry for the poor potato who has lost its popularity with the rise of the low-carb craze.  Is this really necessary?  NO! Potatoes are an AMAZING vegetable and should be part of your diet! Not sure? Check out my article, The Skinny On Potatoes or The Truth About Carbs, and stop being afraid to eat potatoes!

Tara’s Tips for Perfect Crispy Oil Free Air Fryer Potato Wedges:

  • SOAK THEM! 🥔 Don’t skip this!!! THIS IS HOW THEY TURN OUT CRISPY! 🥔 Soaking them removes the extra starch and allows them to crisp better.  I know … it adds 30 minutes … but trust me here!
  • Shake the air fryer basket while cooking.  Just set a timer and shake the basket half way through cooking. You won’t regret it.
  • Eat them right away! If you need to save them for someone who sometimes comes home late from work 🙂 , toss them back in the air fryer for 5 minutes and they will crisp back up.  Spoken from experience 😉
  • Russet or Yukon gold, you choose.  This recipe works great with both. Russet potatoes turn out slightly crispier.
  • Spice options: thyme, rosemary, dried Italian herbs, Trader Joe’s 21 Seasoning, garlic or onion powder, even smoked paprika works.  Mix it up depending on what you pair these with.  You need a total of 2 tsp of seasoning in addition to the salt + pepper.  You seriously cannot go wrong.
  • Yes, they will still be crispy without the oil.  If you use olive oil spray, feel free to spray these before you toss them with seasoning.  This will give them a little extra coating and the seasonings stick better.  Optional but awesome + a little spritz of oil is certainly better than your wedges sitting in a tub of oil deep frying! Oh the calories + fat you are saving yourself!
