Crispy Potato Wedges Baked Or Air Fried

Low-Fat Oven Baked Potato Wedges

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, that’s how I love them! Fries are delicious, I always loved eating them. But every time when I ordered French fries in a restaurant, I got sick right after eating them. My stomach hurt, and I really felt bad for at least half an hour. Too much refined oil just doesn’t agree with me. If you love fries but don’t want them to be covered in oil, try out these low-fat oven-baked (or air-fried) potato wedges. I love this recipe because it is:

Easy to make with only a few simple ingredients Much healthier than fries in a restaurant Oven-baked, not deep-fried

And if you want to try out a variation of these wedges, I recommend to check out my vegan Parmesan Potato Wedges.

Which Potatoes Are Best?

I like using Russet potatoes or Yukon Gold. Russet potatoes have a higher starch content (such as Idaho which works as well) but Yukon Gold potatoes are a great alternative! To find out more about the different potato types, check out this helpful guide.

How To Make The Best Oven-Baked Potato Wedges

For Air Fryer Potato Wedges

Spread them in a single layer with space in-between and air fry at 400F/200C for 15-20 minutes (based on thickness/batch size), flipping at 10 minutes. You can cook them in batches if necessary and reheat the entire lot for 2-3 minutes at the end if needed.

Serve Potato Wedges With Creamy Guacamole

You can use any dipping sauce of choice, for example, ketchup or vegan mayonnaise. However, I love eating potato wedges with guacamole! It’s creamy, rich, and so delicious! I have included the recipe for the best guacamole below. It’s super easy to make because you just need to process all ingredients in a food processor, and it’s ready!

My Favorite Seasonings

I used the following seasonings, which add a very nice flavor:

Onion powder Garlic powder Smoked paprika Balsamic vinegar Soy sauce (gluten-free if needed) Nutritional yeast flakes (optional) Sea salt and pepper to taste
