Step 2
First, let’s prepare the star of our dish: the potatoes. Since we’ll be cooking them with the skin on, scrub the potatoes thoroughly using baking soda or coarse salt. Rinse them under running water several times to remove any dirt or grit. This step is crucial for cleanliness. Once clean, cut the potatoes into wedge shapes that are easy to eat. Avoid cutting them too thinly, as they might break apart; aiming for about 1.5 to 2 cm thickness is ideal. Place the cut potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for at least 20 minutes to remove excess starch. Soaking helps prevent the wedges from sticking together and ensures they become extra crispy.
Step 3
After soaking, it’s very important to drain the potatoes thoroughly. Place them in a colander to let the water drip off, then use kitchen towels to pat them completely dry. Any remaining moisture can prevent the seasoning from adhering well and lead to soggy wedges, so be sure to take your time with this step.
Step 4
Now, let’s season the potatoes to perfection. Place the dried potato wedges in a mixing bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of chicken stock powder, and 1 teaspoon of dried parsley. Gently toss and mix everything with your hands, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning. The chicken stock powder adds a savory depth of flavor, while a touch of sugar makes them even more appealing to kids. The dried parsley adds a lovely aroma and visual appeal.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in your air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap. This allows for even cooking and crisping. Place the basket in your preheated air fryer and cook at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time, at the 15-minute mark, carefully pull out the basket and flip the wedges over. This ensures all sides get equally golden and crispy. Continue cooking for the remaining 15 minutes until your delicious potato wedges are ready.
Step 6
Voila! Your perfectly golden and evenly cooked potato wedges are ready. Freshly made, they boast a delightful crispiness on the outside and a wonderfully soft texture inside. Serve them with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for an even more enjoyable experience. Try making these easy and delicious potato wedges at home today!
