“I’m new to air frying and this recipe was so easy to follow and turned out perfect!!” -Linda
Easy Potato Wedges
Piping hot, perfectly salty, and ultra crispy potato wedges are always a good idea! Thanks to the air fryer, these potato wedges come together quickly and easily—no oven required. Fancy them up with freshly grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of rosemary, or serve them bar style with a variety of dips. These potatoes are a wonderful blank slate for a variety of spices and flavors. I love adding garlic, oregano, and lemon pepper seasoning. Feel free to change up the seasoning and use your favorite spices!
If you’re an air fryer fan, these Air Fryer Twice Baked Potatoes and Air Fryer Roasted Potatoes , are a must.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
