Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes, thoroughly scrubbed and cut into wedges

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley (for garnish)

Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for an extra flavor boost

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Begin by preheating your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Allow it to heat for about 3-5 minutes while you prepare the potato wedges.

    Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, add the freshly cut potato wedges. Drizzle the olive oil evenly over them and use your hands or a spatula to toss until each wedge is thoroughly coated.

      Mix the Seasonings: In a separate small bowl, combine the minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, fine sea salt, and black pepper. Stir the mixture well to create a fragrant seasoning blend.

        Season the Potatoes: Evenly sprinkle the prepared seasoning mixture over the oiled potato wedges. Toss the wedges again to ensure they are well-covered and each wedge is deliciously seasoned.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Carefully arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer within the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches for optimal crispiness. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to promote even cooking.

            Check for Doneness: After the cooking time is complete, assess the wedges; they should appear golden brown and crispy on the outside. If they require additional cooking, continue to fry in 2-3 minute intervals until they reach your desired crispness.

              Serve: Once cooked to perfection, remove the wedges from the air fryer. Garnish them with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and, for an indulgent touch, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful experience.
