Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
  • Parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • sea salt (optional, for garnish)
  • additional parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Equipment

  • Air fryer
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

Directions
  1. Start by washing the russet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Next, slice them into wedges. Aim for even sizes to ensure they cook uniformly. You can leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, onion powder, and minced garlic. Toss in the potato wedges and coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture. Make sure every wedge is well-covered for maximum flavor.
  3. Sprinkle the parmesan cheese over the seasoned potato wedges, ensuring they are evenly coated. This will create a delicious cheesy crust as they cook.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps to ensure that your potato wedges will start cooking immediately, giving them that crispy texture.
  5. Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  6. Once cooked, remove the crispy potato wedges from the air fryer. Garnish with a sprinkle of parsley, additional parmesan cheese, and a pinch of sea salt. Serve warm and enjoy every bite of these delightful wedges!
