About This Recipe
Easy Roast Potato Wedges are the healthier, easier and cleaner alternative to french fries. They are also tasty and meaty and can stand up to any entrée.
TIPS:
Here are 3 helpful tips:
1) Even wedges will ensure even cooking.
Uniform thickness will ensure all your potato wedges will be evenly browned and crisped. So try to use same-size potatoes and then take the time to cut nice even wedges.

2) Spread the potato wedges out on the pan.
Don’t crowd your potato wedges. If they are too close together, they will sit in each other’s steam and will take much longer to crisp up. Use 2 foil-lined baking sheets, if needed.

3) Don’t skip flipping your potato wedges.
Flipping will ensure even color and crispiness on both sides of your potato wedges. They may stick to the pan a bit, so take your time. I usually use tongs and flip each potato wedge individually.
