Crispy garlic and parmesan potato wedges cooked in the air fryer are the kind of side dish that transforms a simple meal into a truly indulgent experience. Golden brown on the edges, meltingly tender inside, fragrant with garlic, and topped with lightly melted cheese, they have everything going for them.
This recipe is perfect when you're craving delicious potatoes without using a lot of oil. Thanks to the Air Fryer, the wedges become wonderfully crispy in just a few minutes, while still maintaining a soft, fluffy center.
Served with ranch dressing, garlic cream, ketchup or just a touch of extra parmesan, these wedges often disappear faster than expected.
Why prepare potato wedges in the Air Fryer?
The air fryer is ideal for potatoes, as it achieves a beautiful golden texture with very little oil. The hot air circulates around the pieces, helping the edges to become crispy without traditional frying.
This method is also faster than using a conventional oven. It requires little attention and gives consistent results, especially if the wedges are cut to the same size.
Air Fryer potato wedges are perfect to accompany a burger, chicken, grilled meat, salad or even to be served on their own as a gourmet snack.
The necessary ingredients
For 4 people, you will need:
- 4 medium potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or russet;
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil;
- ½ teaspoon of salt;
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper;
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder;
- ¼ teaspoon of paprika, optional;
- ½ cup of shredded cheddar or shredded mozzarella;
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese;
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley, optional.
Cheddar provides a more pronounced flavor, while mozzarella adds a creamier texture. Parmesan, meanwhile, adds that salty, slightly toasted touch that makes the wedges even more irresistible.
