Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Potato Wedges:

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a hint of heat)

For the Zesty Herb Dip:

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried dill

1 teaspoon dried parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Potatoes:

    - Start by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes under cold running water. After drying, slice each potato into wedges or thick fries, aiming for about 8 wedges per potato. Keep the skin on to add flavor and texture to your dish.

      Season the Wedges:

        - In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if you prefer some heat). Toss the wedges until they are thoroughly coated with the oil and spice mixture, ensuring an even distribution for maximum flavor.

          Preheat the Air Fryer:

            - Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This step is critical as it helps achieve an even cook and promotes that delicious crispiness on the outside of the wedges.

              Air Fry the Wedges:

                - Carefully arrange the seasoned potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure to avoid overcrowding. This allows the hot air to circulate freely for optimum cooking. You may need to cook the wedges in batches if your air fryer is small.

                  - Cook the wedges for about 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure they cook evenly. They are ready when they appear golden brown and crispy to perfection.

                    Prepare the Zesty Herb Dip:

                      - While your wedges are air frying, prepare the zesty herb dip. In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, dried dill, and dried parsley. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully blended, then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Feel free to adjust the seasoning and acidity according to your taste preference.

                        Serve and Enjoy:

                          - Once the potato wedges are out of the air fryer and have cooled slightly, transfer them to a serving platter. Serve them immediately with the zesty herb dip on the side for dipping. Enjoy your delicious homemade crispy air fryer potato wedges while they're hot!
