Scrub Russet potatoes with a vegetable scrub brush. If you prefer, wash and peel them instead. Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes in half then in quarters. Add to a large bowl and season with salt, lemon pepper, sumac, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Add 1 cup of water to the NinjaFoodi (or Instant Pot) bowl. Place seasoned potato wedges in the Ninja Foodi basket or on a trivet and attach the lid. Set the vent knob to SEAL. Select Pressure Cook and set the timer for 4 to 5 minutes. It will take approximately 10 minutes to come up to pressure.
Meanwhile, whisk melted butter, olive oil, pressed garlic, and Herbs de Provence. When the 4 minutes are up, turn the knob to VENT to quickly release the pressure. It will take approximately 2 minutes for the pin to drop. Transfer the potatoes into a large bowl then pour the buttery herb seasoning over the potatoes. Stir gently with a spatula to combine.
Pour the water out of the Ninja Foodi pot and place the pot back into position with the basket inside. Using tongs, transfer half or all of the seasoned potatoes into the air fryer basket. Air fry/air crisp the potatoes for 20 minutes at 400° F. Use tongs to flip the potato wedges halfway through. Serve immediately.

Although I slice each potato into 4 pieces to make thick potato wedges, you can easily slice each potato into 8 wedges to make thinner ones. If you do make them thinner, you may need to reduce the cooking time.
If you're out of butter or olive oil, you can use 3 tablespoons of one or the other. Avocado oil is also a great option.
Garnish the potatoes with chopped parsley for a lovely presentation.
Optionally, sprinkle air-fried potato wedges with some grated parmesan or Asiago cheese.
