In love with crispy fried potatoes but worried about the calories they bring with them? Then these air fryer potato wedges will make you fall in love with them instantly as they have less than half the calories compared to the deep fried version but with zero compromise on taste!
Crispy fried potato is an emotion and not just a food! Be it the French fries or the potato wedges; it’s a global rage!
But for all the calorie counters like me, it becomes difficult to give in to the temptation because unfortunately fried potatoes come with loads of calories even though the humble raw potato is actually a low calorie food!
This is exactly where a good & trusty air fryer comes for our rescue! Air fryer potato wedges is a total win-win recipe with supreme crispiness on the outside and less than half the calories inside compared to the deep fried version!
What are Air fryer potato wedges?
I know I don’t really need to decode air fryer potato wedges as the name itself is self-explanatory; but just as a ritual let me tell you that this is nothing by crispy potato wedges which are fried in an air fryer with minimal oil.
As we all know potatoes taste best when they are deep fried in the form of either French fries or wedges. When it comes to potato wedges, you can bake them too in the oven to churn out crispy potatoes.
But but but… if you already own an air fryer, then you already have the potential of making the world’s crispiest potato wedges ever without any fuss! Because I feel these air fryer potato wedges turn out even crispier than their oven version!
Plus, an air fryer requires just a tiny amount of oil which means at least 70%-80% less calories compared to deep fried potatoes. And in an air fryer, you also won’t need to flip over the potato wedges in between; just a shake halfway through is enough!
So, compared to an oven, air fryer cooking is multiple times mess-free and much easier to handle. That’s the very reason I am shifting more towards air fryer these days compared to my very much well-loved oven.
