What kind of potato is best for wedges?
Your classic potato wedges are made from russet potatoes.
You can use any kind of potato, like the OG russets or gold potatoes, red potatoes, even sweet potatoes to make potato wedges.
We actually prefer Yukon Gold potatoes, because they have good consistency, fluffy texture and a delightful buttery taste.
You can get fancy with all kinds of spices, but we love them with just kosher salt and a little black pepper.
🔪 Instructions
Bake potato wedges without oil in the oven
Oven temperature: 425℉
Benefit to using the oven: Big batches! Using the oven on a baking tray will take longer, but you can bake more at one time.
If you have a convection oven with a fan, then use it! Set it to 400℉ with the fan on for maximum crunch and browning.
Air fry potato wedges without oil
Air Fryer temperature: 400℉
Benefit to using the air fryer: Less time! Using the air fryer will take less time, but you may have to do several batches, depending on how big your air fryer is and how many people you're serving.
So, if you're serving more than 2 people, I would suggest using the oven.
If you're serving 1-2 people, the air fryer is a quick option! Plus, you don't have to wait for it to preheat.
