Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3.5 medium russet potatoes 3-4
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 tsp thyme
- 0.5 tsp chilli flakes
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Wash your potatoes, then slice each one lengthwise into 6–8 wedges—just aim for even sizes so they cook up nice and crisp.
- Add the wedges to a large pot of salted water and simmer for about 8–10 minutes, until just fork-tender. Drain and let them dry completely (don’t skip this—it helps them crisp up).
- Transfer the wedges to a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss with garlic powder, paprika, chili flakes, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Get everything nicely coated.
- Sprinkle in the parmesan and give it one more toss to mix.
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (about 3–5 minutes), then place the wedges in the basket in a single layer.
- Air fry for around 10-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy on the outside. Keep checking them as air fryers can vary!
- Garnish with extra parsley and serve right away with your favorite dipping sauce!
