Ingredients
  

4 medium-sized russet potatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt (adjust to your preference)

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

For the Dipping Sauce:

½ cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon honey (or substitute with maple syrup for a vegan option)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: A pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra kick

Instructions
 

Prep the Potatoes: Begin by thoroughly washing and scrubbing the russet potatoes to remove any dirt. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Then, cut each half into quarters, adjusting the thickness according to your preference to create about 8-10 wedges per potato.

    Season the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, combine the potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt. Use your hands or a spatula to toss the wedges until they are evenly coated in the seasoning blend.

      Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for approximately 5 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving perfectly crispy potato wedges.

        Air Fry the Wedges: Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook in multiple batches. Air fry the wedges at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking on all sides.

          Crisp Them Up: After 15 minutes, carefully check the wedges for your desired level of crispiness. If you prefer them to be extra crispy, continue air frying for an additional 3-5 minutes until they reach your ideal texture.

            Make the Dipping Sauce: While the wedges are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce. In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if you like some heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper.

              Serve: Once the potato wedges are golden brown and crispy, transfer them to a serving platter. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve the crunchy wedges alongside the prepared dipping sauce for a delicious and satisfying snack or side dish!
