Tips for the Best Baked Potato Wedges
- Use Russet Potatoes – They have the best texture for crispy wedges.
- Soak in Water First – Soaking the potatoes for 30 minutes removes excess starch, making them crispier.
- Don’t Overcrowd the Pan – Space out wedges to allow them to crisp up.
- For Extra Crispiness – Bake for an additional 5 minutes under the broiler.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes or air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
- Freeze Not Recommended: The texture may become soft when thawed.
