One of our favourite recipes to serve as a side dish, these Air Fryer Rustic Potato Wedges are versatile and incredibly easy to make. Raid your store cupboard for some paprika, mixed herbs and sea salt, and you’re well on your way to a plateful of tasty spuds.
A floury potato like Maris Piper or King Edwards works best for this recipe, but just like the herbs and spices, you can use what you have in, if it’s easier.
You can have these delicious wedges ready in just half an hour, although if you can spare the time, we highly recommend leaving the potato to soak in cold water before cooking. They’ll still taste great if you skip this step, but the process helps to draw out the starch, making it the key to the crispiest ever potato wedges.
Serve them with burgers, salad, chilli con carne…they go with everything!
If you don’t have an air fryer, you can also make these in the oven. Follow the oven method here.

I’m sorry but 800g of potato’s divided by 4 (kcals) is 251kcals so just wondering are your kcal counting correct?

Hi Lisa, thanks for your message. We understand that it can be frustrating that apps and websites might not match up on calorie counts. However, all of our recipes have been double checked for accuracy. There are alot of reasons that the calories can differ; calories can be different after an ingredient is cooked in a particular way, or different brands of ingredients can vary the calorie count substantially, for example. Unfortunately, the apps available to the general public do not account for this. Hope this helps.
