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: Start by washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes under cold running water. Pat them dry with a towel. With the skin on, cut each potato in half lengthwise, and then into 3-4 wedges per half, ensuring they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the potato wedges in the spice mixture until they are evenly coated.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This will help achieve that coveted crispy texture.

        Arrange the Wedges: Place the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Be careful not to overcrowd them; cook in batches if necessary for the best results.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Cook the potato wedges for about 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Cook until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender inside.

            Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the wedges from the air fryer. You can sprinkle freshly chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese over them for an extra touch of flavor. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
