How to Serve Herb Roasted Potato Wedges

How to Store Herb Roasted Potato Wedges
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best consumed within 2 to 3 days. When you are ready to eat them again, reheat in the oven or air fryer to regain some crispiness.
Tips to Make Herb Roasted Potato Wedges
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps to remove excess starch.
- Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can add more garlic or try other herbs like oregano or basil.
- Ensure the wedges are spread out on the baking sheet. Crowding them can make them steam instead of roast, resulting in less crispiness.
Variation
You can easily change up this recipe by adding cheese to your wedges. Sprinkle grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy twist. Additionally, adding some chili powder can give them a spicy kick!
FAQs
Can I use other types of potatoes?
Yes, you can use other varieties like Yukon gold or red potatoes. Each will give a different flavor and texture.
Can I make these wedges in advance?
You can cut the potatoes ahead of time and store them in water to prevent browning. Just be sure to dry them completely before adding oil and seasonings.
What if I don’t have all the spices?
You can still make delicious wedges with just oil, salt, and pepper. Feel free to experiment with what you have on hand!
