❓ Quick Cooking Q&A
Make sure to dry them thoroughly and don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Also, try soaking them in cold water before cooking.
Yes, but russet potatoes work best for crispy wedges due to their starch content.
Shaking the basket halfway through cooking is sufficient for even cooking.
They should be golden brown on the outside and easily pierced with a fork.
They're best served fresh, but can be reheated in the air fryer for 3-4 minutes at 350F.
Soaking removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier exterior.
A small amount of oil is recommended for best results, but you can reduce it if desired.
Ensure the basket is clean and lightly oiled, and shake halfway through cooking.
Yes, but cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Classic choices include ketchup, ranch, or garlic aioli, but any favorite sauce works well.
