When I think of KFC, it always brings up that nostalgic feeling you associate with your childhood memories. I link it back to the times when it was prepared for school class parties, when it was an easy choice for a quick bite to eat at the mall, or sometimes even as takeout during sleepovers. The star of KFC’s menu in Malaysia though is one thing in particular — the cheezy wedges.

We have wedges that are crispy on the outside with a fluffy center, and drowned in a classic creamy cheesy sauce that’s absolutely sinful. It’s pretty much the item that everyone would always fight for, so we had to make sure that there was enough to go around.

Air Fried Potato Wedges

This is my version of the delectable nibbles that’s so delicious, my husband and I finished it all within record time! And I love how quick and easy it is to prepare the wedges thanks to the trusty love of my life (other than my husband), the air fryer.

Notes for Cheesy Air Fried Potato Wedges

  • For the cheese sauce, use a whisk to get a smoother sauce. 
  • Get the sauce to your desired thickness but please note: The sauce will thicken up significantly when it cools down. So while cooking and it thickens up a bit but still a little bit watery, turn off heat. If the sauce thickens up too much, just splash a little bit of milk and stir. 
  • Once the cheese sauce has cooled down and is thickened, you can “loosen” the sauce by heating it up.

Notes

*For the cheese sauce, use a whisk to get a smoother sauce. 
*Get the sauce to your desired thickness but please note: the sauce will thicken up significantly when it cools down. So while cooking, when it thickens up a bit but still a little bit watery, turn off heat. The longer you cook, the thicker it will be. If the sauce thickens up too much, just splash a little bit of milk and stir.

    This would have been perfect if I made it exactly like the recipe and it would have been awesome! I couldn’t make the cheese sauce but the potato wedges still came out perfect!

Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats I’m a savory kind o Savory Oatmeal @farahjeats 
I’m a savory kind of girl and have always preferred my oatmeals savory. Some people think it’s weird, I say don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. The best part? You can be creative with this! I’ve added pesto to my oatmeal before and it was delicious.
I also prefer a thicker oatmeal, add more water if you don’t. 
Would you try this or are you sticking to your sweet oatmeal? 😋
