Are Potato Wedges and JoJo Fries the Same Thing

While potato wedges and Jojo fries look similar, they essentially are. But, Jojo fries are fried in the same oil you would cook fried chicken. So it takes on some chicken flavoring.

While these potato wedges are air fried. They are similar but slightly different in taste and cooking methods.

How To Make Potato Wedges in Air Fryer

Step 1: Start by slicing your potatoes into wedges. Each potato on a medium to large potatoes around 6-8 wedges.

Step 2: Toss your wedged potatoes in a bowl. Then you will add in all your seasonings and oil.

Step 3: Toss your potatoes in the mixture. We spritz our air fryer trays with oil to help prevent sticking.

Then we lay out our wedges in a single layer making sure there is room between each potato.

Step 4: Spritz the wedges again with oil if you would like to help get that deep golden brown texture. Then cook at 385 degrees for around 12-15 minutes. Depending on thickness will vary in how long to cook.

Then the last 2-3 minutes we bump up the air fryer to 400 degrees to get the outside even more crispy. This is optional.

Step 5: Remove wedges from the air fryer and serve with your usual dips!
