Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes thoroughly under cold, running water to remove any dirt. After rinsing, dry them gently with a clean towel. Keeping the skin on for added texture and flavor, slice each potato in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into 3-4 wedges, aiming for uniform sizes to ensure they cook evenly.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss the freshly cut potato wedges in this spice mixture, ensuring each wedge is evenly coated for maximum flavor.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfectly crispy exterior on your potato wedges.

        Arrange the Wedges: Carefully place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Avoid crowding the wedges; if necessary, cook them in batches to ensure they crisp up nicely.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Cook the potato wedges for approximately 15-20 minutes. Remember to shake the basket halfway through cooking to promote even crispiness. Your wedges should emerge golden brown and delightfully crispy on the outside, while remaining tender on the inside.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the potato wedges are ready, remove them from the air fryer. For an added flavor boost, sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve them hot alongside your favorite dipping sauce for an irresistible treat.
