- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Season: In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil. In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly.
Step 3: Cook the Potatoes
- Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Air Fry: Cook the potato wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure even crisping. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
Step 4: Serve
- Garnish: If desired, sprinkle the hot potato wedges with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley for extra flavor.
- Serve: Serve the potato wedges immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or garlic aioli.
