About Air Fryer Potato Wedges With Feta Dip

These air-fried potato wedges are perfect for those looking for a healthier alternative to fried wedges. They are crisp on the outside and tender and fluffy on the inside — just like your favorite fried wedges. The calories in air-fried wedges are less than those in deep-fried wedges, and they are also crispier than oven-baked wedges.

The perfect combination of herbs dipped with feta dip, these crispy potato wedges fried in the air fryer are super tasty and quite addictive.

In addition to saving calories in comparison to deep frying, making wedges in the Air Fryer makes them crispier than baking in the oven.

Garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, and some olive oil are perfectly seasoned so these wedges are extra flavorful.

This can be served as an appetizer or snack at a party.

This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. If you’re serving a large group, prepare your food in batches. Replace regular feta cheese with vegan feta cheese if you want to make the dish vegan. The air-fried wedges are also gluten-free.

I have a simple trick to make the wedges even crispier, so keep reading! Don’t you wish you could dive right into that dip? My friends, it’s so good and I’m looking forward to you trying it!

Ingredients

3 big – Potato cut in wedges shape
1 tbsp – Honey or maple syrup if vegan
1 tsp – Paprika
1 tbsp – Pink salt
1 tsp – Freshly crushed black pepper
2 tbsp – Olive oil
Olive oil (garnishing)
1 tbsp – Thyme (dried)
3 tbsp – Plain/Vegan cream cheese
200 gms – Plain/Vegan Feta cheese
4 tbsp – Water

Potatoes – Russets are the best potatoes for making wedges because they’re high in starch and have the perfect oblong shape. The result will be less crispy and the wedges will take a few minutes longer to cook if you use Yukon gold, red or white potatoes. The results will still be delicious, though!

Do you have limited time? Pre-cut frozen potatoes work well. You will have to thaw them completely before cooking.

Honey or Maple syrup – It adds a little sweetness to our feta dip.

Feta Cheese – To make this dip we will be using vegan feta cheese but if you are not vegan just use any plain feta cheese.

Cream cheese – To make this dip even creamier I use vegan cream cheese but if you are not vegan use any good cream cheese.

Other Seasoning – I used paprika, pink salt to taste, thyme dried, and freshly crushed black peppercorns.

Important Suggestion To Keep In Mind

Make sure to cut your potatoes flat-side down. This will prevent them from rolling around on your cutting board when you slice them. Make sure they are all the same size.
Before adding anything to the potatoes, pat them dry with paper towels so that the oil or seasonings will stick to them.
Cover each potato wedge with oil completely if you want crisp potato wedges. This will allow the air fryer to crisp the outside of the wedge. Your fries will be crispy and soft at the same time.
It’s important to spread out the wedges in the basket so that hot air can circulate. Ensure the wedges don’t touch and that the basket isn’t overcrowded.
Use good quality olive oil for drizzling.
Use vegan feta cheese and cream cheese if vegan otherwise go for plain ones.
Air fryers differ from one another. Therefore, the timing and temperature may differ. Set the timing and temperature based on your device. Edging thickness also affects the cooking process.

Serving Suggestion

You can eat them as it is or you can serve them with any salads of your preference.

In addition to burgers, sandwiches, and wraps, potato wedges are great as a side dish. Grilled sandwiches will go well with them too.

Storage Suggestion

If you have leftover Air Fryer Potato Wedges, you can store them in an airtight container for up to five days in the refrigerator. It is always recommended to make feta dip ahead of serving only.

Frequently Asked Questions

How healthy are air-fried potato wedges?

The typical way to prepare potato wedges is to deep fry them, which involves a lot of oil. Using an air fryer, we are able to cook them with minimal oil, making them a healthier option.

Is it possible to make the air-fried potato wedges in advance?

It is possible. You just have to make wedges and let them cool completely. Potatoes should be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days after cooling. For best results, air fry for about 3-4 minutes until they are warm and crispy.
If you want to freeze them, let them cool completely, and then lay them out on a baking sheet to freeze. The wedges should be frozen in a bag and can be frozen for up to three months.

Potato wedges are best made with what kind of potato?

It is best to use russet potatoes since they crisp up the best. If all you have are Yukon golds, yellows, reds, and whites, then that would be fine.

How can I make my air fryer potatoes crispy?

You need to ensure your potatoes are thoroughly dried after washing them. Excess moisture will lead to steam. When you use steam in the air fryer, you’ll get soggy potatoes, not crispy ones.

Can we bake the potato wedges?

Sure. Place all the marinated potato wedges on parchment paper on a baking tray and bake them at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes.
