Wash and scrub the potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Leave the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Cut each potato into wedges by first halving them lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
Place the potato wedges in the air fryer basket in a single layer. You may need to cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding, which prevents them from getting crispy.
Cook the wedges for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking. The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Once done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the wedges warm alongside your favorite heart-healthy dips or sauces.
