Cut Wedges Same Width
Narrow tips burn in front of thick middle pieces. Uniform wedges cook at the same time.
The wedges are much larger than fries or cubes. A thin starch-and-oil coating browns the cut sides while the inside stays soft and fluffy.
Why this recipe works
Potato crevices take longer than thin fries, but are less sensitive and remain juicy inside. Cut each potato into six to eight equally wide Wedges, depending on its size. The shell holds and is eaten with thorough washing.
Recipe
Thick potato crevices with shell are watered, carefully dried and crispy with starch and rosemary in the air fryer all around.
Brush the potatoes thoroughly and cut them into six to eight equally wide wedges, depending on the size. Remove green areas and germs generously.
Place the wedges in cold water and leave to stand for 20 minutes. Then drain, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly.
Mix potatoes first with starch. Then add oil, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, salt and pepper evenly.
Preheat air fryer to 200 °C. Fill in Wedges loosely and cook for 12 minutes.
Shake basket and cook for another 8 minutes. Turn again and cook for 4 to 8 minutes, depending on the thickness.
Cut open the widest wedges. The centre should be soft, the cut areas strong golden brown. Serve immediately.
Kitchen know-how

starch adheres only as a thin layer on dry surfaces. Residual water forms sticky stains and steam.
Potato crevices need more space than fries. Densely stacked wedges become soft and need significantly longer.
