A great WFPB add-on to our Hardy PB Chili
It should be obvious that I just love fixing Chili. The only issue is that it's hard to get good WFPB options instead of Frito's, cheese etc. So air-fried potato wedges proved a great option. For the purposes of this recipe I'll link the Hardy WFPB Chili with the link and then just discuss the wedges
Ingredients
Ingredients
4-5 Organic Russet Potatoes
3-4tbs Balsamic Vinegar
2 cups water
3tbs Garlic Powder
3tbs Minced Onion
3tbs Italian Seasoning or Basil
2tbs Lowry's Seasoning Salt (or to taste)
How To:
PREP:
STEP 1:
Start with cutting the potato's. Slice them into wedges by first cutting in half lengthwise. Then cut from an angle making the back of the wedge no to desired width but for cooking purposes probably not thicker than 2".
STEP 2:
Add the Balsamic Vinegar and a splash of water to a larger non-stick skillet on medium to medium/high heat. When heated up add the wedges turning both sides until they've been tossed in the vinegar/water mixture with a little bit of quick searing.
NOTE - the vinegar will thicken fairly quickly and may evaporate fairly quickly as well...we just want it to stick to the wedges before we add the other ingredients. It's ok if the bottom of the pan gets a little sticky and messy.
STEP 3:
Once they are coated pour in enough water to cover the potatoes and add the seasonings. Bring heat up and bring to a light boil. Keep here until the potatoes are fork tender throughout.
NOTE - depending on where you live the water/vinegar may evaporate slowly or quickly while cooking. If you lose water more quickly you may need to add more than the recipe calls for as you go and that's perfectly normal.
STEP 4:
Once the potatoes are fork-tender pull them out on to a plate with a paper towel and pat them dry to remove excess water being careful because they'll be hot.
STEP 5:
Place Potatoes into air-fryer basket. Then start the air-fryer on 370 degrees for 20-25min. You'll want to use a spoon or fork to flip and jostle the wedges every 5min or so in the process to keep the cooking evenly.
STEP 6:
When the wedges are to the desired crispness remove from basket and serve with your favorite condiment or meal.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1. When cooking the wedges I always end up adding more seasonings as they boil and I add more water etc.
2. Try it with the Hardy Plant Based Chili or the Loaded Potato Wedges
