Expert Tips

  • Make sure the potato wedges are completely dry before mixing with the spices and oil. That way, they will remain crispy.
  • Use a heavy baking sheet to help absorb heat and form better-crisp crusts on the seasoned potatoes.
  • For a well-rounded home cooked meal, serve these potato wedges with an oven-baked salmon dish.
  • Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley, chives, or cilantro after baking for a bright garnish.
  • For an extra savory flavor, sprinkle some Parmesan cheese atop the potato wedges in the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • Arrange the wedges in a single layer and be sure not to overcrowd the pan.

Recipe FAQs
