Crispy Air Fryer Potato Wedges

1.Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

2.Cut each washed potato into 8 wedges by slicing in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into quarters.

3.In a large bowl, combine the potato wedges, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat all wedges with the seasoning.

4.Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking, if desired.

5.Arrange the potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even crisping; cook in batches if necessary.

6.Air fry the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to promote even browning.

7.Check for doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork; it should be tender inside and crispy outside.

8.Remove the wedges from the air fryer and transfer to a serving plate.

9.Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
