Equipment

Ingredients

1 lb. Russet Potatoes or 500 gm.
1 tsp. olive oil or use lemon juice for no oil
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. garlic powder
¾ tsp. pepper
½ tsp. chili powder
2 tbsp. parmesan cheese optional
1 tsp. parsley finely chopped

Instructions

Cut each potato into half and then quarter horizontally. Then cut each large wedge into smaller wedges. Leave the skin on.
Take a bowl of cold water and immerse the wedges for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes drain the wedges and wipe dry.
It is important to dry your potato wedges well so that the seasonings adhere well and they also crisp up nicely.
Preheat air fryer at 390F or 200C for 4 minutes.
Mix the spices together. Add olive oil to the potato wedges and sprinkle spices.
Mix well so that every wedge is coated.
Place them in the air frying basket in one layer.
Air fry at 390F or 200C for 15-18 minutes till the wedges get crispy outside and perfectly cooked inside.
Take out and garnish with grated parmesan (optional) and finely chopped parsley. Serve hot.
Check the dip and what to serve suggestions in the post.

Notes

1. Leave the skin on as it makes the wedges crispy.
2. Cut the potato into equal sized wedges.
3. Dip in ice cold water for 20 minutes. This helps in removing excess starch which make the wedges very crispy.
4. Dry, toss with oil and seasonings and air fry right away.
5. In case, you want to store them, you can do large batches and store covered. Before serving, crisp them up in air fryer.
