Ingredients
-
2 large russet potatoes
-
1 tbsp butter, melted
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
2 tsp Smoky Cowboy seasoning
-
1 tsp black pepper
-
1 tsp dried parsley
Directions
Wash potatoes thoroughly and cut into evenly sized wedges while leaving skins on.
For crispier wedges, soak potatoes in cold water for 20 to 30 minutes if time allows.
Drain potatoes thoroughly and pat completely dry with paper towels.
Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
In a medium bowl combine melted butter, olive oil, Smoky Cowboy seasoning, black pepper, and dried parsley.
Add potato wedges and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
Arrange wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket with small spaces between pieces to promote crisping.
Air fry for 18 to 22 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
Cook until wedges are golden brown, crisp on the outside, and fork tender inside.
Serve immediately while hot.
Suggested serving methods: burgers, sandwiches, grilled chicken, steak dinners, game day snacks, or dipping sauces.
Recipe Note
Dry potatoes thoroughly before air frying to maximize crispness.
Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket because overcrowding can cause steaming instead of crisping.
Russet potatoes provide the fluffiest interior texture and crisp edges.
For extra crispy wedges, lightly spray wedges with cooking oil before air frying.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on air fryer model and wedge thickness.
Serve with aioli, ranch dressing, ketchup, or Smoky Cowboy Aioli for additional flavor.
