  • Soak the potatoes and preheat air fryer simultaneously - As explained in the essential tips, soaking and important so try to soak the sliced wedges into warm water for atleast a minimum of 10 mins if not more. Skipping this step might result in not-so-crispy wedges. You can also start preheating your air fryer at this point at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

You don't need to flip or turn them mid way through.
