Ingredients

  • 2 medium Idaho potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 6 ounces parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  • Place a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the AirFryer basket. 
  • Scrub the potatoes clean and slice them into 1/2 inch thick wedges. 
  • Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish (I used a pie plate). Combine the flour in a second dish then combine the cheese and seasonings in a third dish. 
  • Toss the potato wedges around in the flour then transfer them to the egg mixture and coat them completely with the egg.
  • Transfer them to the cheese mixture and press the cheese onto the potato wedges.
  • Place 8 to 10 wedges in the AirFryer basket in a single layer (you will need to work in batches). Close the basket and cook for 12-14 minutes at 400°F. When they finish cooking set them on a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the potato wedges.

Notes

  • Slice the wedges 1/2 inch thick for best results. If you slice them thicker then they will need to cook longer and you will have to turn them halfway through the cooking time.
  • Coat the potato wedges in the flour first. The flour will help more of the egg stick to the potato which will give them a better crust.
  • Use parchment paper in the basket to prevent the cheese from sticking. The parchment paper works so much better than non-stick spray.
  • Do not crowd the potato wedges in the AirFryer basket. If you have a smaller AirFryer you will need to cook fewer potato wedges at a time.
  • If you substitute a different cheese for the parmesan use a hard cheese like Pecorino Romano or Manchego. Do not use a soft melting cheese.
