Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Wash and scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Step 2
Cut each potato into wedges by first halving them lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Step 4
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Step 6
Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which prevents them from getting crispy.
Step 7
Cook the wedges for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 8
Once done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the wedges warm alongside your favorite heart-healthy dips or sauces.
