Tips on Making Baked Potato Wedges

Are you up for some baked potato wedges with a cheesy twist? They’re incredibly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Sounds utterly finger-licking good, right? Read on to get useful tips on how to make this recipe.

Use russet potatoes for this recipe. It has a thick skin, and is light and more flavorful compared to other types, which makes it ideal for baking. Another easy to make dish that uses the same kind is our chicken alfredo baked potatoes, so you can save this recipe for later.
Avoid scrubbing your potatoes too hard when washing them to remove dirt. For this recipe, we are using them with the skin on, so it’s important to wash them thoroughly to get rid of all dirt. But remember to be gentle so as not to peel the skin off to be able to make the best wedge fries.
Slice them in the same size to help in cooking them evenly.
Place your raw sliced potatoes in hot water for about 15 minutes before baking. This helps to eliminate the starch in them and also helps them absorb some moisture for tender insides and crispy outsides.
Don’t cram your wedges while they bake. If they’re overcrowded, they’ll produce steam which will make them very soft and will make it impossible to crisp up.

Commonly Asked Questions

Do you wrap potatoes in foil to bake?

You don’t have to, but you should line your baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil. The potatoes will then be able to brown without getting too soft and sticking to the pan. This way you’re guaranteed a batch of perfectly crispy baked potato wedges.

Should you poke holes in potatoes before baking?

Yes, it’s good to poke holes for this potato wedges recipe. Potatoes are full of water so poking holes through their skin allows steam to escape. If not, they might explode.
