Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly under cool running water. You can leave the skin on for extra crispiness.
Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
Place the wedges in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps them crisp up better.
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Preheat the air fryer to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, dried oregano, and chili powder. Mix well.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding, and if necessary, cook them in batches.
Air fry the potato wedges for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once done, remove the potato wedges and sprinkle with fresh parsley for garnish.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
