Cheesy Potato Wedges is one of the easy and delicious recipes from The Vegan Air Fryer by JL Fields. They are perfect for game days and parties, and are vegan and gluten-free.
Do you have an air fryer?
I have one and absolutely love it.
You can use it for heating up foods you would normally make in the oven, such as frozen foods.
But to me, the best thing about using an air fryer is you can make traditionally fried foods with a lot less oil, or even none at all!
Perhaps you noticed my Phillips air fryer in the video showing how to make Soyrizo Potato Tacos.
I have been completely happy with it since I got it. The other air fryer that comes highly recommended is the GoWISE.
In her book The Vegan Air Fryer, JL Fields explains why you would want to use an air fryer and how to use one. She also talks about helpful accessories you might want.
And then there are the recipes! I love the creative and delicious dishes JL showcases in The Vegan Air Fryer.
You can make Buffalo Cauliflower. I love to make it a meal by using it in Buffalo Cauliflower Bites Salad.
Or how about Jackfruit Taquitos? I like serving them with guacamole or Fresh Pineapple Salsa.
You can even make desserts in your air fryer, like Blueberry Apple Crumble!
But one of my favorite ways to use my air fryer is for cooking potatoes, like these Cheesy Potato Wedges!
I usually use a little olive oil, but you can omit the oil entirely and still enjoy your favorite French fries made healthier.
I often use my air fryer to make Breakfast Potatoes when I don’t want to turn on the oven. Plus they don’t need to cook as long.
The recipe for Cheesy Potato Wedges calls for fingerling potatoes which you cut in half lengthwise. When I went shopping, I found some Dutch Yellow Baby Potatoes, which I used here sliced in quarters.
I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do, and be sure to check out The Vegan Air Fryer!
And if you make Cheesy Potato Wedges, or any of the other recipes on the website, I would love to see your creations!

Cheesy Potato Wedges
Ingredients
Potatoes
- 1 pound fingerling potatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Cheese Sauce
- 1/2 cup raw cashews
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons to 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Potatoes: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 minutes. Wash the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and transfer them to a large bowl. Add the oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the potatoes. Toss to coat. Transfer the potatoes to the air fryer. Cook for 16 minutes, shaking halfway through the cooking time.
- Cheese Sauce: Combine the cashews, turmeric, paprika, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice in a high-speed blender. Blend on low, slowly increasing the speed and adding water as needed. Be careful to avoid using too much water, as you want a thick, cheesy consistency.
- Transfer the cooked potatoes to an air fryer–safe pan or a piece of parchment paper. Drizzle the cheese sauce over the potato wedges. Place the pan in the air fryer and cook for 2 more minutes at 400°F.

I absolutely love this! We’ve used a very similar cheesy cashew sauce for our breakfast potatoes, so I definitely approve. All the rage about air fryers (and this beautiful post) has got me thinking we need to invest in one ASAP!
Amy
I think you’ll love having one, Matt!
Sheila

Amazing recipe, Amy! Thank you for sharing your experience with these delicious cheesy potatoes with us! I tried it and I loved it, but I love everything with cheese on it!! Also, I`m not giving my air fryer for anything – I love to cook with this magical appliance!
Amy
Aren’t air fryers the best? I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe, Katie!

At last someone that actually made the recipe. (Deep exhalation) thank you. I’m glad you liked them. I bought my son an airfryer and it has been sitting collecting dust. I’m going to make these tonight. Excited
Jar
Huh?? I tried this and it wasn’t a good experience. There was so little in the vitamix that it didn’t cover the blades. I turned it on low and little bits of cashew would be flung to the lid and the sides. I scraped everything down…turned it on low…same thing. I had to add a significant amount of water to get the sauce even close to smooth. Now I have a thin watery sauce. Not what I hoped for…am I doing something wrong??
Amy
I know exactly what you’re talking about. It didn’t work very well for me in the Vitamix either because the container isn’t full enough to blend. Unfortunately this recipe is from a cookbook (The Vegan Air Fryer), so I’m not sure how the author made it work. But I have found that little personal size blenders like the Ninja work really well for making small quantities of sauce.
Jar
Frustrating that is not mentioned in the recipe. I was planning to order the cookbook, but won’t after this experience.
Amy
I reviewed another air fryer cookbook you might like here: https://www.veggiessavetheday.com/small-batch-brownies/
Jane
First thing I’ve made in the fryer that, I bought my culinary son, was sitting collecting dust. I read another comment, which encouraged me to soak my cashews 1st-this seems a normal process.
It was still really thick, no drizzling happening there. Anyway the dish was absolutely delicious. I had to stop myself from guzzling them. Ty.
