Ingredients
  

4 medium russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes under cold running water to remove any dirt. Once clean, slice each potato into wedges (aim for about 8 wedges per potato), ensuring to keep the skin on for optimal flavor and texture.

    Soak the Wedges: Transfer the cut potato wedges into a large bowl filled with cold water. Let them soak for a minimum of 30 minutes; this helps to eliminate excess starch, contributing to a crispier final product.

      Season the Wedges: After soaking, drain the wedges and gently pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the dried potato wedges to this mix and toss them until they are thoroughly coated in the flavorful herb mixture.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect golden crisp.

          Air Fry the Wedges: Carefully place the seasoned potato wedges into the air fryer basket, ensuring they are arranged in a single layer for even cooking. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook the potato wedges in batches. Air fry for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket midway through to promote even browning, until the wedges are golden and crispy on the outside.

            Garnish and Serve: Once the potato wedges are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer. Sprinkle a generous amount of chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant burst of color and freshness. Serve these delicious wedges alongside your favorite dipping sauce, or simply enjoy them as is!
