Common Recipe Questions

What type of potatoes work best for these wedges?

Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are ideal due to their texture, which crisps well on the outside while staying fluffy inside.

Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh?

Yes, dried rosemary works well; use about half the amount of fresh rosemary to maintain balanced flavor.

How do I achieve extra crispy wedges?

Soaking the potato wedges in cold water for 20 minutes before roasting helps remove excess starch, resulting in crispier edges.

What oil is recommended for roasting?

Olive oil is preferred for its flavor and roasting properties, but other vegetable oils with high smoke points can be used.

Are there flavor variations to try?

Rosemary can be swapped with thyme or oregano for a different herbal profile, complementing the potatoes nicely.
