Introduction to Potato Wedges

If you love crispy, flavorful side dishes, then potato wedges are an absolute must! They are incredibly versatile and can easily complement any main course, whether it's grilled chicken or a juicy burger. Follow this simple potato wedges recipe to create the perfect munch every time, using methods like an air fryer or traditional oven.

Ingredients You'll Need

To make potato wedges, you won’t need an enormous list of ingredients. Just gather the following:

• 4 large russet potatoes

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 teaspoons The Daily Garlic herb mix

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

Cooking Methods: Air Fryer vs. Oven

Now, let's dive into the cooking methods to achieve that perfect munch. Both the air fryer and oven can be great options for making these delicious potato wedges.

Air Fryer Method

If you're short on time or want a faster cooking method, the air fryer is your friend! Start by cutting the potatoes into wedges, leaving the skin on for an added crunch. Toss them in a bowl with olive oil, the Daily Garlic mix, salt, and pepper. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C, then arrange the wedges in a single layer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to get them crispy on all sides.

Oven Method

The oven is another excellent way to get that golden finish. Preheat your oven to 220°. After seasoning the potato wedges, spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking. When they’re golden brown, they are ready to serve.

Tips for Making the Perfect Potato Wedges

To ensure your potato wedges come out perfect every time, consider these handy tips:

• Soak the Potatoes: For extra crispiness, soak the cut potato wedges in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove excess starch.

• Don’t Overcrowd: Whether using the air fryer or oven, ensure the wedges are not overcrowded on the cooking tray. This helps them cook evenly and get crispy.

• Experiment with Spices: Feel free to get creative with your seasonings! Try adding parmesan cheese for an Italian twist, or another one of our lovely spice mixes the Smoking Light for a flavourful surprise.

Serving Suggestions

Potato wedges can be served hot from the fryer or oven, perhaps alongside dipping sauces like ketchup or aioli. They make for a fantastic side dish during barbecues, casual dinners, or any gathering where you want to impress your friends and family.

Now that you have the perfect potato wedges recipe and cooking methods in your arsenal, it’s time to get cooking!
