Ingredients
- 5 medium potatoes
- 1 tbsp butter, melted or softened
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 tbsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 pinch of salt (about 1-2g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Gather all your ingredients before you begin. Having your potatoes, butter, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt prepped and measured will make the cooking process much smoother and more enjoyable.
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into wedges of a size that’s easy to eat – larger wedges tend to stay moist inside. Once cut, soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 5-10 minutes to remove excess starch. This step is crucial for achieving a crispier texture. Drain the potatoes completely and pat them dry before proceeding.
Step 3
Place the drained potato wedges into a large mixing bowl. Add the melted (or softened) butter, grated Parmesan cheese for a savory kick, and the fragrant dried parsley flakes. Gently toss everything together with your hands or a spatula until the potatoes are evenly coated with the butter and seasonings. Even coating ensures consistent flavor and texture.
Step 4
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in your air fryer basket or on the tray. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate freely, ensuring all sides become deliciously crispy. Sprinkle a pinch of salt evenly over the wedges to enhance their flavor and add a touch of savory goodness.
Step 5
Set your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook for 20 minutes. For the best results, give the basket a shake or flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time (around the 10-minute mark). Once done, your golden wedge fries will be ready to enjoy! Serve immediately for the ultimate crispy exterior and tender interior experience.
