Notes
Oven-Baked Version: No air fryer? No problem! Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Use evenly sized wedges so they cook at the same rate.
Don’t skip flipping your potatoes to get crispy edges on all sides.
Increase heat to 375°F for extra crispiness during the last couple of minutes of cooking.
Storage: Let leftover wedges cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Reheating: To keep them crispy, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 4-6 minutes.
Freezing: Allow wedges to cool completely, then freeze in a resealable bag for up to 6 months. Reheat from frozen at 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
