Key Notes:
- Choosing Potatoes:
- Russet potatoes are ideal for wedges because of their fluffy interior and crisp exterior when cooked. Yukon Gold also works well for a slightly creamier texture.
- Storage:
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the air fryer for about 3–5 minutes to restore the crispiness.
