Main Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- A little mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup heavy cream (or milk)
- A drizzle of olive oil
- Herb salt (or regular salt)
- Dried parsley
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by thoroughly washing the fresh potatoes. Leaving the skin on adds extra flavor and nutrients. Cut the potatoes into 6 or 8 wedges, making them a bite-sized portion.
Step 2
Place the cut potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for about 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step is crucial for achieving extra crispiness. After soaking, drain the potatoes well in a colander to ensure they are completely dry.
Step 3
Transfer the dried potato wedges to a mixing bowl. Season them with herb salt (or regular salt), dried parsley, and a light drizzle of olive oil. Toss everything together to ensure the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap for even cooking. Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes for the first round. Then, flip the wedges and increase the temperature to 200°C (400°F) for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer model and the size of the potato wedges.
Step 5
Now, let’s prepare a delicious cheese sauce. In a saucepan, heat 1/3 cup of heavy cream (or milk) over medium heat. Once it starts to simmer, add the 4 slices of cheddar cheese and a small amount of mozzarella cheese. Stir continuously until the cheeses are completely melted, creating a smooth and creamy sauce base.
Step 6
Once the cheese is fully melted, stir in 1 Tbsp of honey mustard sauce and 1 tsp of oligosaccharide. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer for a moment, then remove from heat. For a bit of heat, you can finely chop and add 1-2 Korean green chilies to the sauce at this stage, according to your preference. Adjust the amount to your liking.
Step 7
Remember that the cooking time for the potato wedges can vary based on your specific air fryer. Keep an eye on them and adjust the cooking time as needed to ensure they are perfectly golden and cooked through without burning.
Step 8
Arrange the freshly baked, warm potato wedges on a serving plate. Generously drizzle the homemade creamy and sweet cheese sauce over them. The combination of hot, crispy wedges and the savory sauce is simply irresistible!
Step 9
This versatile sauce is not only perfect for potato wedges but also makes a fantastic dip for other fried foods or even a delicious salad dressing. Enjoy it in various ways!
