Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- A pinch of dried parsley flakes
- A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the necessary ingredients to make delicious potato wedges. Wash the potatoes thoroughly.
Step 2
Cut the prepared potatoes, skin on, into wedge shapes about 1.5 cm thick. It’s best to maintain a moderate thickness, as they can fall apart if cut too thin. You can peel them, but leaving the skin on makes them more flavorful and nutritious.
Step 3
After cutting the potatoes, proceed to the step that ensures a crispy texture. Soak the cut potatoes in cold water for about 10 minutes to remove excess starch. This process helps the outer surface of the potatoes become crispier and prevents them from sticking together during cooking.
Step 4
Drain the potatoes well after soaking and then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels or a clean kitchen towel. It’s crucial to remove as much moisture as possible. Remaining water can lead to a steamed effect, reducing crispiness.
Step 5
To the completely dried potato wedges, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of dried parsley flakes. The olive oil will coat the potato surfaces, helping them crisp up and adding extra flavor.
Step 6
Gently toss the potatoes with your hands to ensure the olive oil and seasonings are evenly distributed. It’s important that every wedge is coated so the flavors are well-infused for a tastier result.
Step 7
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don’t overlap. Overcrowding the basket can prevent even cooking and lead to sogginess.
Step 8
Preheat your air fryer to 190°C (375°F). Place the potato wedges in the basket and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, carefully remove the basket and flip the wedges over. Cook for another 10 minutes. This will result in beautifully golden-brown wedges that are crispy outside and tender inside. Adjust cooking time as needed based on your air fryer’s performance.
Step 9
Your golden and appetizing potato wedges are ready! For an extra touch of flavor, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the finished wedges. The salty and savory taste is delightful! Serve them with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for an even more enjoyable experience.
