Recipe FAQs
- → How do I ensure crispy potato wedges?
Soaking the cut wedges in cold water for 20 minutes removes excess starch, which helps them crisp up better during roasting. Also, spreading them in a single layer and turning halfway improves even browning.
- → Can I use other herbs besides rosemary?
Yes, thyme or oregano are excellent alternatives that complement potatoes well. Feel free to experiment based on your flavor preference.
- → What type of potatoes work best?
Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal due to their starchy texture, which yields crisp edges while maintaining a soft inside.
- → Is olive oil preferred for roasting?
Olive oil adds a rich flavor and helps the wedges crisp evenly. You can also use other oils with high smoke points if needed.
- → How long should the wedges roast?
Roast at 220°C (425°F) for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping once midway, until edges turn golden and crispy.
