Notes
For extra crispy potato wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then dry thoroughly before seasoning.Russet potatoes work best for a crispy outside and fluffy inside.Add grated parmesan during the last 5 minutes of baking for a cheesy variation.For a spicy version, add chili powder or cayenne pepper.Air fryer method: Cook at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through.
