Ingredients You’ll Need

Russet Potatoes: You’ll need 2 medium potatoes cut into wedges lengthwise. Russets are perfect here because they get so fluffy inside and crispy outside!

Parmesan Cheese: Just 2 tablespoons of finely grated Parmesan adds the most amazing savory flavor. The finer you grate it, the better it sticks to your wedges.

Extra-Virgin Olive Oil: One tablespoon helps everything get golden and crispy. Don’t skip this – it’s what makes the magic happen!

Fresh Rosemary: You only need 1 teaspoon chopped up, but wow does it make these smell incredible. Fresh is best, but dried works too if that’s what you have.

Salt: Half a teaspoon brings out all the flavors perfectly. Use whatever salt you normally cook with.

Ground Pepper: Just half a teaspoon adds a nice little kick. Freshly ground tastes best if you have it.

Garlic Powder: Half a teaspoon gives you that perfect garlic flavor without any fuss. So much easier than mincing fresh garlic!

Paprika: Another half teaspoon adds beautiful color and a gentle smoky taste. Regular paprika works great here.

How to Make Air-Fryer Potato Wedges

Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F for 10 minutes. While it’s heating up, grab a large bowl and toss together your potato wedges with all the other ingredients. Make sure every wedge gets coated with that delicious seasoning mix!

Step 2: Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer in your air-fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd them – work in batches if you need to. Cook for 8 minutes, then flip each wedge over.

Step 3: Cook for another 8 to 10 minutes until they’re golden brown and tender when you poke them with a fork. If you have more wedges, just repeat the whole process with the remaining batch.

Want to make these even faster? You can skip the fresh rosemary and use 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary instead! Also, if you’re in a real hurry, cut your wedges a bit thinner – they’ll cook about 2 minutes faster on each side.

Serving Ideas

These wedges make an amazing side dish for burgers, grilled chicken, or fish. They’re also perfect as a snack with some creamy ranch dressing or tangy ketchup for dipping. I love serving them alongside a fresh green salad for a complete meal!

Storage

Store any leftover wedges in the fridge for up to 3 days in a covered container. To reheat them, pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until they’re crispy again. They taste almost as good as fresh!

Substitutions

No Parmesan? Try some grated cheddar or even nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option. You can swap the rosemary for thyme or oregano if that’s what you have. Sweet potatoes work great too – just keep an eye on them since they cook a bit faster!

Pro Tips

• Cut evenly: Try to make all your wedges about the same size so they cook at the same rate.
• Don’t skip the flip: Flipping halfway through gives you the best crispy results on both sides.
• Soak first: If you have extra time, soak cut potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes, then pat dry. This removes extra starch for even crispier wedges!
• Season while hot: Add a pinch more salt right when they come out of the air fryer for the best flavor.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes?

You bet! Yukon Gold potatoes work really well too, though they’ll be a bit more creamy and less fluffy inside. Red potatoes are great if you like a firmer texture.

What if I don’t have fresh rosemary?

No worries! Use about 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary instead. You could also try dried thyme or Italian seasoning for a different but equally delicious flavor.

How do I know when they’re done?

Sure! They should be golden brown on the outside and tender when you poke them with a fork. If they need more time, just cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These are definitely best served right away while they’re hot and crispy. But you can cut and season your potatoes a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge until you’re ready to cook!

I hope you love these crispy potato wedges as much as my family does! Let me know how yours turn out – I always love hearing about your cooking adventures. Happy air frying!
