Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly.
- Cut each potato into 6–8 wedges, keeping them uniform for even cooking.
- Optional: Soak wedges in cold water for 15–20 minutes to remove excess starch. Pat dry before seasoning.
Season the Wedges
- In a medium bowl, toss potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Ensure each wedge has a light, even coating for the crispiest results.
- Pro Tip: Don’t overcrowd the bowl; season in batches if necessary.
Preheat the Air Fryer
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3–5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and a golden crust.
Air Fry the Potato Wedges
- Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces.
- Cook for 15 minutes, shaking or flipping halfway through for uniform crispiness.
- If cooking in batches, repeat with remaining wedges.
Add the Cheese
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Parmesan over the cooked wedges.
- Air fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Remove carefully with tongs or a spatula.
Garnish and Serve
- Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the wedges.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
