Herbed Crispy Skin Potato Wedges Recipe!
The air fryer has been the one thing in my life has brought me so much happiness! When I decided to try to make the potato wedges I was hesitant, but I am so glad I made them because they came out amazing! It not only saves on calories but also cuts down on the heat in the kitchen in addition to eating healthy.
Note: There is nothing special that makes these a Weight Watcher’s recipe. It’s a regular recipe that I calculated the Smart Points for. They can also be made in the oven if you don’t have an Air Fryer.

Alternatively you can bake them in the oven if you do not have an air fryer.

Your potatoes will be done when you can pierce them with a fork.
