Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then pat dry.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Use freshly grated parmesan for better flavor and texture.

Storage

Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs

Can I use other types of potatoes?

Yes, Yukon Gold or red potatoes can also work well, but russet potatoes give the best crispiness due to their higher starch content.

How do I make these wedges dairy-free?

Simply omit the parmesan cheese or substitute it with a dairy-free cheese alternative if you prefer.
