Red potatoes have less starch and a creamier texture, perfect for biting into as a wedge

Preparation Notes:
-
If you like crispier wedges, cut your potatoes thinner and for more tender potato inside cut them thicker

Be sure to stop and shake the potatoes in the basket every few minutes for even cooking
-
To determine if potatoes are done to desired tenderness, use a fork to poke potato

I didn’t preheat the air fryer, so if you choose to do so, you may need to reduce cooking time slightly

Made a written. Way too salty.
For anyone making it the first time and you don’t have all seasoning or seasoned salt, don’t put 1 teaspoon.
I’ve Never put 1 Tablespoon of salt or salt seasoning on potatoes but I tried it because I thought I just didn’t salt my food enough! Way too much. I realize it was an all purpose salt seasoning but if anyone wants just salt and make their own, 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoons it’s all the salt you need.
Way too much oil. You only need 1 Tablespoon. Most of it was wasted because the potatoes didn’t need all that oil coating. It’s air frying, it’s supposed to be healthier and it’s wasteful.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Please note the recipe called for 1 tablespoon of all-purpose seasoning, which is very different from 1 tablespoon of salt. I agree that much salt would be terrible!
