Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes
- 5 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.3 Tbsp salt (approx. 1/3 tsp)
- 0.2 Tbsp black pepper (approx. 1/4 tsp)
- 0.1 Tbsp dried parsley (approx. 1/8 tsp, for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather all the ingredients needed to make these delicious potato wedges. Wash the potatoes thoroughly and have the olive oil, salt, pepper, and parsley ready. Measuring everything beforehand will make the cooking process much smoother.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes carefully, using a brush to remove any dirt while keeping the skins on. Leaving the skins on is great for extra nutrients and flavor. Cut the potatoes into wedges, about 1.5 to 2 cm thick. Aim for consistent thickness so they cook evenly. If you cut them too thin, they might break apart.
Step 3
Place all the cut potato wedges into a large bowl. Drizzle the 5 tablespoons of olive oil over them. Olive oil helps the potatoes become both tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
Step 4
Now, let’s season the potatoes. Add about 0.3 tablespoons (roughly 1/3 teaspoon) of salt. You can adjust this amount based on your preference and the size of the potatoes.
Step 5
Sprinkle in about 0.2 tablespoons (roughly 1/4 teaspoon) of black pepper. The slightly spicy kick from the pepper will complement the potatoes wonderfully.
Step 6
Put on a pair of gloves and gently toss the potatoes in the bowl with your hands. Make sure the olive oil, salt, and pepper are evenly coated on all the potato wedges. This even coating is key for maximum flavor when cooked.
Step 7
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in your air fryer basket, ensuring they don’t overlap. This helps them cook more evenly and get crispier. Set the air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 20 minutes. About halfway through the cooking time (around 10 minutes), pull out the basket and flip the potato wedges so they brown nicely on all sides.
Step 8
Once cooked to perfection, transfer the crispy potato wedges to a serving dish. Finish with a light sprinkle of dried parsley for a pop of color and fresh aroma. Voilà! Your delicious, crispy-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside potato wedges are ready to be enjoyed, especially with a cold beer!
