Top Tip

HOW TO COOK IN AN AIR-FRYER

Place the seasoned wedges in the air fryer* in a single layer and cook at 200°C for 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway (you’ll need to do this in batches). If your air fryer has a basket rather than shelves, you can place all the wedges in at once and cook for 30 minutes, or until cooked through, shaking the basket every 10 minutes.

*Tested in a 4.2-litre air fryer. All air fryers are different, so results may vary.

Method

A great recipe for kids – with just a splash of oil and a pinch of seasoning and spice, you can turn the humble potato into delicious homemade wedges.

  1. Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF/gas 6.
  2. Wash the potatoes under cold running water, scrubbing well with a scrubber to get rid of any dirt (there’s no need to peel them).
  3. On a chopping board, cut each potato in half lengthways, then cut each half in half lengthways, and then each piece in half again so you end up with 8 wedges, then add to a large mixing bowl.
  4. Sprinkle over a tiny pinch of sea salt and black pepper, and the paprika.
  5. Drizzle over 2 tablespoons olive oil, then toss everything together to coat.
  6. Spread out into a single layer over two large baking trays, then bake in the hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.
  7. Use oven gloves to remove the trays from the oven, then leave to sit for a couple of minutes (this will make it easier to remove them from the tray), then use a fish slice to transfer them to a serving dish.
