Description

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, these cheesy potato wedges are air-fried to perfection and topped with melty cheese for a delicious snack or side dish.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 large russet potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Place the wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches).
  4. Cook for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until wedges are golden and crispy.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the wedges and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before air frying, then dry thoroughly.
  • You can use a mix of cheeses for added flavor.
  • Serve with sour cream, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
