Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Air Fryer Potato Wedges
  1. Begin by scrubbing 4 russet potatoes thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or impurities.
  2. Next, slice each potato into 8 evenly-sized wedges, aiming for wedges about 1-inch wide at their thickest point.
  3. Place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and let them soak for 15 minutes.
  4. After soaking, thoroughly drain the potato wedges in a colander, then pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Carefully arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
  8. Air fry the potato wedges for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  9. After cooking, check the wedges for doneness; if extra crispy is desired, cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
  10. Once cooked, remove the wedges from the air fryer and sprinkle with parmesan cheese or fresh parsley if desired.
  11. Serve your Crispy Air Fryer Potato Wedges immediately while they’re hot and crisp.
