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.
(And don’t miss the cookbook giveaway at the end of this post!)
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!

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.
