I have a variety of popular air fryer recipes such as air fryer roast potatoes and air fryer chips, which I love and use regularly.

If your wedges look raw then exercise some common sense and give them a few more minutes to cook. Cooking times can vary depending on wedge size, potato type and even the type of air fryer being used.

Do you parboil air fryer potato wedges before air frying?

As you can see from my recipe I skip this step. I like recipes that are simple and easy. If you want to parboil them then you should find the potato wedges are fluffier and cook quicker in the airfryer.

I would suggest you parboil the potato wedges for around 6-8 minutes in boiling, lightly salted water. Once parboiled drain, give them a gentle shake and then get them in to your pre-heated airfryer.

What are the best potatoes for airfryer potato wedges?

I like to use King Edwards or Rooster potatoes. Any potatoes work for this really!

Can you make airfryer poato wedges without oil?

Yes. I personally find spray oil is a great way to have crispy potato wedges without adding too many additional calories.

If you want to make potato wedges without oil then ensure you shake them in the airfryer basket at least 4-5 times during cooking, to prevent sticking.

Can you cook frozen potato wedges in an airfryer?

Yes. Absolutely! They’ll be SO crispy and delicious. Set your airfryer to the time advised on the poato wedges packaging and then keep an eye on your potato wedges while they are cooking.

A lot of frozen potato wedges have oil, flour and seasonings on. The airfryer will make these frozen potato wedges exactly crispy and delicious.
