Equipment
- 1 Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 3 large russet potoates, washed (peeled or unpeeled)
- ice water
- 2 Tbsp. salt (for soaking)
- 3 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly shredded
- 1 tsp. salt (for seasoning mixture)
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- chop fresh parsley, optional garnish
Instructions
- Cut each potato into 8 even wedges. Put the wedges into a large mixing bowl. Under cold running water, rinse as much potato starch off of the wedges as you can.
- Drain and refill with ice water. Add 2 tablespoons of salt and let the wedges soak for at least 10 minutes. Preheat your air fryer if your model calls for preheating.
- When finished soaking, drain the water and lay the wedges on a large towel. Pat completely dry before adding them to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp. salt, garlic powder, thyme, and minced garlic together. Pour the oil mixture over the potatoes and toss the wedges in the mixture until completely coated.
- Lay wedges in a single layer in the fryer basket. Sprinkle any remaining oil mixture over the wedges. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
- Cook at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. for approximately 9-13 minutes, or until golden brown and a fork can be easily inserted. There’s no need to flip halfway through.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, optional.
