Tips & Variations

- Substitute parmesan with pecorino romano for a sharper cheese flavor.
- Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
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 crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

FAQs
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute. They will create a sweeter, softer wedge, so adjust baking time accordingly.
How do I make sure the wedges are crispy?
Make sure to dry the potato wedges thoroughly before tossing with oil and seasoning. Baking on a preheated sheet and spacing them out evenly helps achieve maximum crispness.
