Tips and Considerations

This air fryer potato wedges recipe calls for dried herbs, but it's even better with fresh herbs. When using fresh herbs, you generally need to triple the quantity.

So, for example, you would want to use 1 Tablespoon of fresh minced rosemary instead of 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary.

Top the finished wedges with some minced fresh rosemary and thyme or your favourite herbs for a picture-perfect finish and a restaurant-worthy taste.

To make these wedges even better, soak the cut potatoes in cold water overnight or for at least 30 minutes. This helps remove some of the starch, resulting in crispier wedges that don't stick together when cooking, it's not an absolutely necessary step but it can definitely elevate the finished product.

Another way to potentially elevate this air fryer potato wedges recipe is to reserve some of the oil and herb mix and drizzle it over the finished wedges.

It doesn't take much, but a little oil drizzled over the hot and crispy wedges can add a lot of flavour.

To make these wedges even lower in calories, you can skip the oil. Instead, just spray the cut potato wedges with some cooking spray and toss them in the herbs before cooking.
