This cooking method, along with a little oil and Parmesan cheese, makes these potato wedges come out nice and crispy. I used garlic powder and Italian seasoning, but your favorite seasonings can be substituted. Add salt if you must, but the Parmesan cheese provides plenty of salt, especially for those of us who are trying to reduce excessive salt in our diets.
Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato , scrubbed
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Italian seasoning
Instructions
-
1
Preheat an air fryer to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Line the basket with nonstick foil.
-
2
Pierce the potato several times with a paring knife. Microwave on high power until very soft, 7 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. Remove and let cool enough to handle.
-
3
Use a serrated knife to carefully slice potato in half lengthwise. Slice each half into 4 wedges, then cut the wedges in half. Drizzle with oil and brush to coat.
-
4
Place the potatoes close together in the air fryer with the skin resting on the foil and the cut-sides exposed to the air. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then move the slices apart. (Starting with them close together helps you get more of the cheese and seasonings on the potatoes.)

5
Air-fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes. Reduce air fryer temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue to air-fry until well browned and crispy, about 5 minutes more.

Simple Chicken Mayo with Parmesan and Bread Crumbs
This chicken breast recipe with mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and herbs is a true tried-and-tested recipe! I remember seeing an ad on TV about cooking with mayonnaise and decided to give it a shot. I've made it with just the mayonnaise on top and it really locks the moisture into the chicken. The bread crumbs and cheese are a must for me; they complement each other very well.
