Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt (or to taste)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dried oregano (or Italian seasoning)
- ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for spice)
- Ranch, ketchup, or aioli for dipping
Instructions
- Potato Preparation: Thoroughly cleanse potatoes, slice into uniform wedges. Immerse in chilled water for 20-30 minutes to eliminate excess starch, ensuring maximum crispiness.
- Seasoning Fusion: Transfer potato wedges to mixing bowl, generously coat with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and optional cayenne for enhanced flavor profile.
- Air Frying Technique: Activate air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for precise temperature calibration. Strategically arrange wedges in single layer within basket, avoiding overcrowding. Execute cooking process for 15-20 minutes, implementing mid-cycle basket rotation to guarantee uniform golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
- Final Presentation: Elevate culinary creation by delicately sprinkling Parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately alongside preferred dipping sauce, creating a tantalizing appetizer or side dish with irresistible textural complexity.
Notes
- Pat potatoes completely dry after soaking to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of air frying.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket, leaving space between wedges ensures even cooking and helps achieve golden, crispy exteriors.
- Experiment with different spice blends like Cajun, Italian, or ranch seasoning to create unique flavor profiles matching personal preferences.
- Adjust cooking time by 2-3 minutes based on potato size and desired crispness, checking midway to prevent burning and ensure perfect golden-brown results.
