Ingredients
Scale
Potatoes
- 4 russet potatoes
Seasoning & Oil
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Toppings & Garnish
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Potatoes: Wash and dry 4 russet potatoes thoroughly. Slice each potato into wedge shapes to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
- Toss with Seasonings: Place the potato wedges into a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 pressed garlic clove, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Use clean hands to toss and coat each wedge evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) to ensure a hot environment for crisp potatoes.
- Cook the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes at 400°F, shaking or turning halfway if needed, until the wedges are golden and crispy.
- Add Parmesan: Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the cooked wedges. Return them to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2 minutes at 400°F to melt and slightly brown the cheese.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the wedges from the air fryer, garnish with 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot for a delicious, crispy snack or side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and air frying.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste or add other spices like paprika or chili powder for variety.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow even cooking and browning.
- If your air fryer model requires, shake or flip the wedges halfway through cooking for uniform crispness.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for best melting and flavor results.
