Interesting Facts

  • Potato skin contains a high concentration of nutrients such as fiber, iron, and vitamin C, so leaving the skin on adds nutritional value to the dish.
  • Air frying uses hot air circulation to cook food, resulting in a crispy texture similar to deep frying but with significantly less oil and fewer calories.
  • You can customize the seasoning for the potato skin wedges by adding your favorite herbs and spices, such as chili powder, cayenne pepper, or dried rosemary.
