Save It 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.
