Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 russet potatoes (medium-sized), washed and dried
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Seasonings:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare air fryer by heating to 400°F (200°C), ensuring optimal temperature for crispy potato preparation.
- Transform potatoes into wedge-shaped pieces by slicing lengthwise and then cutting into uniform segments.
- Create a flavor-infused coating by combining potatoes with olive oil and a blend of aromatic seasonings including garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, ensuring each wedge is thoroughly and evenly coated.
- Carefully distribute potato wedges in a single, uncrowded layer within the air fryer basket, preventing overcrowding to guarantee maximum crispiness.
- Initiate cooking process, allowing potatoes to transform into golden-brown delicacies through a 15-20 minute air frying cycle, gently agitating the basket midway to promote uniform crisping.
- Immediately after removing potatoes from air fryer, generously shower the hot wedges with freshly grated parmesan cheese, allowing the residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Add a final flourish of vibrant chopped parsley as a garnish, enhancing both visual appeal and herbal undertones, then serve the potatoes while piping hot for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best crispy texture and even cooking.
- Pat potato wedges completely dry before seasoning to ensure maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket; leave space between wedges for hot air circulation and even browning.
- Customize seasoning by adding herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor complexity and variety.
