Common Questions About Recipes

What type of potatoes work best for these wedges?

Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal due to their starchy texture, which crisps up nicely when roasted.

How can I make the wedges crispier?

Soaking potato wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting helps remove excess starch, enhancing crispiness.

Can the rosemary be substituted?

Yes, thyme or oregano can be used instead of rosemary for a different herbal flavor.

What oil is recommended for roasting?

Olive oil is preferred for its flavor and roasting qualities, but other vegetable oils with a high smoke point can also work.

How do I ensure even cooking of the wedges?

Arrange wedges in a single layer with the cut side down on a lined baking sheet and flip once halfway through roasting.
