Recipe Guide

What type of potatoes work best for these wedges?

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

How can I make the wedges extra crispy?

Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting removes excess starch and helps achieve a crispier texture.

Can I substitute rosemary with other herbs?

Yes, thyme or oregano can be used instead of rosemary for a different but equally delicious herb flavor.

What oil is recommended for roasting?

Olive oil is preferred for its flavor and roasting properties, but other vegetable oils can also be used.

Should the potato wedges be flipped while roasting?

Flipping the wedges halfway through roasting ensures they brown evenly and develop a uniform crispiness.
