Loaded Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 3-4 Large Russet Potatoes
- 1 Tbsp Baking Soda
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Heath Riles Garlic Butter Seasoning or seasoning of choice
- 1 cup shredded Colby Jack Cheese
- 6 strips of Bacon crumbled
- 2 Green onions chopped
Instructions
- First, start your bacon. I like to bake it on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes.
- Place a large pot of water on the stove over medium high heat.
- Rinse the potatoes and cut them into equal sized wedges.
- Boil the potatoes with 1 Tablespoon of baking soda until just about fork tender (about 6-8 minutes). Be sure to slowly add the baking soda, so the water does not boil over on your stove.
- Drain the wedges in a large colander and then add them to a large bowl with olive oil and your favorite potato seasoning. I like the Heath Riles Garlic Butter seasoning for this recipe.
- Shake the wedges in oil and seasoning to coat them well. The mashed coating that the potato wedges get will help make all of the little crispy pieces on the wedges.
- Next, add them to the air fryer at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes, or until your potatoes are crispy. Shake them around a few times while they cook to help them cook evenly.
- Once crispy top with shredded Colby Jack and crumbled bacon before placing back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Top with green onions and serve with ranch for dipping! Enjoy!!
Notes
- I like to cut my wedges into larger pieces for this recipe.
- I use freshly shredded Colby Jack Cheese for this recipe because it melts a little better, but any shredded cheese will work.
- If you're short on time you can use bacon bits in place of the freshly baked and crumbled bacon.
- I like to serve these with ranch dressing, but they're also great with sour cream for more of a loaded potato skin vibe.
- All air fryers cook differently, I suggest starting with 20-25 minutes and increasing the cook time if your potatoes are not quite as crispy as you'd like them.
- Be sure to shake or stir the potato wedges around while they cook, so that all of the potatoes cook evenly.
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika would be a good alternative to the Heath Riles Seasoning if you don't have that already in your pantry.
