The secret to these burgers is in the meat mixture—they don’t shrink and are juicy every time.
I love making hamburgers in the air fryer—and even better with potato wedges for a complete meal!
The air fryer makes this meal quick and easy with little cleanup.
Holly’s Tips for Great Cheeseburgers
- Form the hamburger mixture into four patties, 4.5 inches (11.4cm) in diameter. The patties will shrink a bit as they cook.
- Use your thumb or the back of a spoon to press a ½-inch diameter indent into the center of each patty to prevent them from swelling while cooking.
- Appliances can vary; check your burgers early to ensure they don’t overcook.
- Let the patties rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep the burgers juicy.
Tips for Wedge Fries
- Make sure to preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding the wedges. This helps to achieve a crispier texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer. Cook in smaller batches in a single layer. Before serving, heat all batches in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- You can add Homemade Seasoned Salt or other spices you like to the wedges for extra flavor.
- Wedges should be golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Add a couple of extra minutes if they need more crisping.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, like garlic aioli, spicy ketchup, or ranch.
