Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes about 4-6 medium, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated recommended
  • Fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Wash and quarter the Yukon Gold potatoes into even wedges. Optional: Soak in cold water 30 minutes for extra crispiness, then pat very dry.
  2. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
  3. In a large bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Add potato wedges and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the potatoes and toss again to adhere.
  6. Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if needed).
  7. Air fry 15-20 minutes, shaking basket halfway through for even browning.
  8. Potatoes are done when golden, blistered, and fork-tender. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pat potatoes very dry for maximum crispiness.
Soaking in cold water removes starch for extra crunch (optional but recommended).
Don't overcrowd the basket—cook in batches for best results.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts and adheres better than pre-shredded.
Shake halfway and add a light oil spray if needed for uniform color.
