4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 medium russet potatoes washed and dried
- 1½ tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon ground paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley flakes
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the potatoes.
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Slice each russet potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half again lengthwise, and then divide each section once more lengthwise. This process should yield approximately 16 uniform wedges in total.
Season the Potato Wedges:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, ground paprika, dried parsley flakes, chili powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Toss thoroughly to ensure all wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange in the Air Fryer Basket:
- Place half of the seasoned wedges in a single layer within the air fryer basket. It is important to avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
Cook the Wedges:
- Cook the potato wedges for 10 minutes. At the halfway mark, carefully turn each wedge using tongs to promote uniform browning. Continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Repeat the Cooking Process:
- Remove the cooked wedges from the basket and set aside. Repeat the same process with the remaining batch.
Serve:
- Once all the wedges are cooked, serve them warm as a side dish or appetizer. They pair wonderfully with dips such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.
