Ingredients

2 medium to large Russet Potatoes or Yukon Gold potatoes
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried parsley
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cut your potatoes into wedges and dry the wedges well with paper towels. The number of wedges you cut depends on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges, oil, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees. Arrange wedges in a single layer in the basket of the air fryer. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes. Cook in batches if needed.
Sprinkle with parsley and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Dry the cut wedges well before combining them with the oil and other ingredients.
Preheat the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
Russet or Yukon Gold are my go-to potatoes for this recipe.
Air-fryer temperatures vary, so keep an eye on the potatoes and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
There is no need to turn the potatoes. Give the air fryer basket a shake several times during the cooking process to keep the wedges from sticking.
This recipe works well as a side or an appetizer. For an over-the-top delicious appetizer, serve with a variety of dipping sauces.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. These potatoes reheat well in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes.
If you don't own an air fryer, you can make these tasty potatoes in the oven at 400 degrees.
For extra crispy wedges, soak the potato wedges in a large bowl of cold water for 30 minutes to remove some of the starch. After draining, pat them dry with paper towels.
