Frequently Asked Questions

→ Do I need to use an air fryer?: No, the oven works well too. Bake at 355°F (180°C) fan for 30-40 minutes.
→ How do the potatoes get especially crispy?: Uniform size of the wedges and sufficient oil are important. Don't forget to turn them during cooking.
→ Can I prepare the dip ahead of time?: The dip should be prepared fresh, as the avocado will turn brown otherwise. Lime juice helps prevent discoloration.
→ Which potatoes work best?: Waxy potatoes maintain their shape during baking and get nicely crispy on the outside.
→ Can I use frozen potatoes?: Fresh potatoes give the best result. Frozen ones won't get as crispy.

Difficulty: Easy

Cuisine: Fusion

Yield: 2 Servings (1 serving of potatoes with dip)

Dietary: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free

Ingredients

→ For the potatoes

01 700g waxy potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)

02 80g freshly grated Parmesan cheese

03 2 garlic cloves, minced

04 1 teaspoon sweet paprika powder

05 6 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

06 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

→ For the avocado dip

07 1 ripe avocado

08 1 garlic clove, minced

09 ¼ red onion, finely diced

10 4 small cherry tomatoes, diced

11 1 lime, juiced

12 2 tablespoons plain yogurt (optional)

13 Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 01

Peel the potatoes and cut them into wedges. In a large bowl, toss them with oil, paprika powder, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.

Step 02

If using an air fryer, cook at 370°F (190°C) for 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking. Alternatively, spread on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 355°F (180°C) with fan for 30-40 minutes, turning occasionally.

Step 03

Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork and immediately stir in the lime juice to prevent browning. Add the minced garlic. Finely dice the red onion and cherry tomatoes, and fold them into the avocado mixture. If using, stir in the yogurt for extra creaminess. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

If you don't have an air fryer, these potatoes can be baked in a conventional oven at 355°F (180°C) with fan/convection.
These Parmesan wedges also pair beautifully with store-bought guacamole, sour cream, or tzatziki if you're short on time.
