Description
Make crispy potato wedges coated in cheese using your air fryer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large Russet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (for garnish)
Instructions
- Scrub the potatoes well. Cut each potato into 8 wedges.
- In a bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if necessary.
- Air fry at 380°F (195°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Flip the wedges and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the hot wedges in the basket.
- Return the basket to the air fryer for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the air fryer, sprinkle with chives, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before drying them completely.
- You can substitute cheddar cheese with Monterey Jack or a Mexican blend.
