Ingredients

4 medium russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix (store-bought or homemade)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prep the Potatoes: Cut each washed potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato). Try to make sure they’re roughly the same size for even cooking.

Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well blended.

Coat the Potatoes: Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat all wedges with the seasoning mixture. Ensure each wedge is nicely covered.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. This step helps achieve a crispy exterior.

Cook the Wedges: Place the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to work in batches depending on the size of your air fryer. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.

Air Fry: Cook the potato wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking for uniform crispiness. Check for doneness; the wedges should be golden brown and crispy.

Serve: Once done, remove from the air fryer and transfer the wedges to a serving plate. If desired, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese while still hot and garnish with fresh parsley.

Enjoy: Serve the warm ranch potato wedges with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or a spicy mayo.
