Air Fryer Bacon-Wrapped Potato Wedges
Crispy, savory bacon wrapped tightly around tender yellow-heart potatoes, air-fried to golden perfection and served with tangy ketchup.
Every day a home-cooked meal brings comfort, and these bacon-wrapped potatoes deliver the ultimate contrast of crispy, salty meat and soft, tender potato. Wrapped in a single strip of bacon, the wedges cook evenly in the air fryer until the bacon renders down into a fragrant, irresistible treat that you can enjoy on its own, wrapped in lettuce, or dipped in ketchup.
Ingredients
- 300 g yellow-heart potatoes
- 6 strips bacon
- to taste cooking oil spray
- to serve fresh lettuce leaves
- to serve ketchup
Instructions
- 1Wrap Potato Sticks in Bacon
Take a whole strip of raw bacon and slowly, tightly wrap it around a yellow potato stick, ensuring the potato stick is evenly covered from end to end.
Tip: Wrap the bacon snugly so it stays secure during the air frying process without unravelling. - 2Arrange and Oil in Air Fryer
Arrange the bacon-wrapped potato sticks neatly in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Lightly spray the surfaces with cooking oil to ensure extra crispiness.
Tip: Do not overcrowd the basket so the hot air can circulate freely and crisp all sides evenly. - 3Bake in Air Fryer
Take the loaded air fryer basket by the handle and slide it securely back into the machine. Bake at 170°C for 15 minutes, making sure to flip the potato sticks halfway through for an even crisp.
Tip: Ensure the basket is completely pushed in before setting the timer. Flipping halfway is crucial for all-around crispiness.
