Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für besonders knusprige Wedges empfiehlt es sich, die Kartoffelspalten nach dem Schneiden kurz in kaltem Wasser einzuweichen und anschließend gründlich abzutrocknen, bevor sie mit Öl und Gewürzen vermengt werden. So wird überschüssige Stärke entfernt, was zu einer noch knackigeren Kruste führt. Der optionale Maisstärkezusatz verstärkt diesen Effekt zusätzlich. Achten Sie darauf, die Wedges in einer einzigen Schicht im Korb zu verteilen und gegebenenfalls in mehreren Durchgängen zu garen, damit die Heißluft gleichmäßig zirkulieren kann. Den Dip können Sie bereits Stunden im Voraus zubereiten und im Kühlschrank aufbewahren—er gewinnt mit etwas Ruhezeit sogar an Geschmack.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich auf vielfältige Weise anpassen. Süßkartoffeln können anstelle von herkömmlichen Kartoffeln verwendet werden—passen Sie die Garzeit entsprechend an, da sie etwas schneller weich werden. Für einen leichteren Dip ersetzen Sie den Sauerrahm durch herkömmlichen Joghurt. Wer den Dip intensiver mag, kann zusätzliche Frühlingszwiebeln oder einen Spritzer mehr Zitronensaft hinzufügen. Die Gewürzmischung für die Wedges lässt sich ebenfalls variieren: Cayennepfeffer bringt mehr Schärfe, während getrockneter Rosmarin oder Thymian ein kräuterbetontes Aroma verleiht.

Serviervorschläge

Die heißen Kartoffelwedges schmecken am besten frisch aus der Heißluftfritteuse, serviert neben dem gekühlten Frühlingszwiebel-Dip. Für ein optisches Highlight streuen Sie nach dem Garen frisch gehackte Petersilie oder Schnittlauch über die Wedges. Dieses Gericht passt hervorragend als Beilage zu gegrilltem Fleisch oder Geflügel und eignet sich ebenso als Partyhappen. Richten Sie alles auf einer großen Platte an, damit Gäste direkt hineingreifen und dippen können—ein geselliger Genuss für jede Gelegenheit.

Recipe FAQ

What potatoes work best for crispy wedges?

Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal for their starchy texture and ability to crisp up well when air-fried.

How can I make the wedges extra crispy?

Coating the wedges lightly with corn starch before air frying helps enhance crispiness without drying them out.

Can I prepare the spring onion dip ahead of time?

Yes, the dip can be mixed and chilled in advance to let the flavors meld and remain fresh when served.

Are there suitable alternatives for Greek yogurt in the dip?

Regular yogurt can be used as a lighter option, though Greek yogurt provides a thicker, creamier texture.

What temperature and time are best for air frying these wedges?

Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F) and cook the wedges for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway for even crisping.
