Ingredients
- 4 yukon gold potatoes cut into wedges or use russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
- Basil aioli for serving
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes in half and then into smaller wedges. Soak in water for at least 10 mins. Drain and Pat completely dry.
- Add potatoes to a bowl, drizzle olive oil and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle spices and salt, toss to coat.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F for 3 minutes.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway.
- Add parmesan cheese and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Add to a bowl and toss with fresh garlic and chives. Serve with Lemon Basil Aioli.
Notes
- Cut the wedges evenly so they cook at the same rate and crisp up on all sides.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch and help them turn extra crispy.
- Dry the wedges completely before seasoning to prevent steaming in the air fryer.
- Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes to ensure even cooking from the start.
- Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed for the best crisp texture.
- Toss the wedges halfway through cooking so they brown evenly.
- Add the parmesan near the end so it melts and sticks without burning.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for better flavor and texture than pre-shredded cheese.
- Toss with fresh garlic and chives right before serving for a bright, savory finish.
- Serve immediately with basil aioli or your favorite dip while the wedges are hot and crisp.
