Crispy Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer Potato Wedges
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Potatoes
- Start by washing and scrubbing the potatoes well (no need to peel them!). Cut each potato lengthwise into wedges—about 6 to 8 wedges per potato depending on size. Try to keep them the same thickness so they cook evenly.
Step 2: Season and Toss
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle on the garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated.
Step 3: Add the Parmesan
- Now add the grated parmesan to the bowl and gently toss again. Make sure each wedge has some cheese sticking to it—it’ll create that crave-worthy crust.
Step 4: Air Fry to Perfection
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) if your model requires it. Arrange the wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to work in batches). Cook for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
- Once cooked, sprinkle the wedges with chopped parsley if you’re using it. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce—ranch, garlic aioli, or even ketchup all work beautifully.
