Ingredients- 3 medium potatoes
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Dried parsley flakes to taste
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly wash the potatoes under running water, scrubbing away any dirt. You can leave the skin on for extra flavor and texture. Cut each potato into 6 equal wedges. Aim for a consistent thickness to ensure even cooking; avoid making them too thin, or they might fall apart.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and parsley flakes. Whisk them together to create a flavorful seasoning mixture. Feel free to add other herbs or spices like garlic powder or paprika for an extra kick.
Step 3
Add the prepared potato wedges to the bowl with the olive oil mixture. Gently toss and mix until every piece of potato is evenly coated with the seasoning. Ensuring thorough coating is key for maximum flavor.
Step 4
For Oven Baking: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. For Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F). Place the wedges in the air fryer basket, ensuring not to overcrowd. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket or flipping the wedges halfway through for uniform crispiness.
Step 5
Once golden brown and perfectly cooked, carefully remove the potato wedges from the oven or air fryer. Serve them immediately while they’re hot and inviting. These wedges make a fantastic standalone snack!
Step 6
For an elevated meal, serve these delicious wedges as a side dish to your favorite meat entrees like steak or roast chicken. They are also a fantastic accompaniment to dishes like BBQ pork ribs. (For a complementary BBQ pork rib recipe, please refer to @6943132).
