Ingredients
  

Potato Wedge Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Russet Potatoes Starchy texture ensures a fluffy inside. You can substitute with Yukon Gold for a creamier taste.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Adds healthy fats and enhances crispiness; vegetable oil works in a pinch.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder For essential flavor kick; consider fresh garlic for bolder taste.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Onion Powder Deepens the flavor profile; shallot powder is a perfect alternative.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Provides a unique smokiness; can also use regular paprika or cayenne for flavor nuances.
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt Elevates all flavors; adjust according to dietary needs or opt for seasoned salt.
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds touch of spice; substitute with a pinch of cayenne for heat.
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese Adds savory depth; nutritional yeast can substitute for a dairy-free option.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly, leaving the skins on for texture and flavor. Cut them in half lengthwise and then into wedges.
  2. Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water for 15-20 minutes to remove excess starch.
  3. Remove the wedges from the water and thoroughly dry them with a towel to avoid steam.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for about 5 minutes.
Cooking
  1. Drizzle olive oil over the wedges and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  2. Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
  3. Cook at 400°F for 18-22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  4. Optionally, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

Serve with dips like ranch or ketchup. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Can freeze uncooked wedges laid flat on a baking sheet until solid.
