How can I make crispy potato wedges without frying and oven?
My mom lives Hong Kong when Toronto's cold. Here are strictures:
- Healthy frying is OK. Let's rule out deep-frying - it's unhealthy and can cause cancer.
Her HK flat doesn't have a convection oven. She never bought microwave oven.
She could buy a counter-top convection toaster oven, but she feels it's too eco-unfriendly and waste of money. Let's rule it out for now. If nobody comes up anything, she will reconsider. She has a rice cooker. Her kitchen looks like

You will never achieve the same results without an oven or deep-frying.
Just pan-fry the potatoes in a little bit of oil; I'd par-boil the potatoes and finish them up in the pan.

Whenever you want to make potato wedges, take the pouch out and instantly deep-fry them in very hot oil until they become golden brown and crispy. As the raw wedges are frozen, dropping them in very hot oil makes the oil less hot. This provides a suitable temperature for frying.How do I cook potatoes without frying them?

Give them a cold water bath: Once your potatoes are chopped, toss them into a large bowl. Then cover the potatoes completely with cold water and let them soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight). This will help to rinse off the excess starch and help the potatoes crisp up beautifully in the oven.No Fry Crispy Potato Wedges | No Maida Potato Wedges | Not Deep Fried ~ The Terrace Kitchen

If you want crispy potato wedges, you will need at least a tablespoon of oil and lots of heat. The supermarket offerings (oven chips etc.) have already been coated in oil even if they just require reheating.
If you are concerned about the environment and your health, your only solutions as far as I can see are either an air fryer or a Remoska. Both are very small efficient ovens, don't either require much oil, although the Remoska is much more versatile IMO.
Without concentrated heat and oil, the crispiness you seek will elude you.
