Tips:
For an extra kick of flavor, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the potato wedges before baking them.

FAQs:
Q: Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes? A: Absolutely! Sweet potatoes are a great alternative to regular potatoes if you prefer a sweeter and slightly healthier option. Simply follow the same recipe and adjust the cooking time accordingly, as sweet potatoes may cook a bit faster than regular potatoes.
Q: Can I make these potato wedges in an air fryer? A: Yes, you can! If you have an air fryer, you can achieve the same crispy texture by cooking the wedges in it. Simply follow the same recipe but adjust the cooking time as air fryers tend to cook faster than ovens.
Q: How can I make the potato wedges spicier? A: If you’re a fan of spicy food, you can add some cayenne pepper or chili powder to the seasoning mixture. Start with small amounts and adjust according to your personal preference.
Q: Can I make these potato wedges ahead of time? A: While they are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, you can make them ahead of time and reheat them in the oven or an air fryer to regain their crispy texture.
