FAQs
If you’re serving these crispy potato wedges as an appetizer, just about anything goes well with it! You can make a veggie tray, zucchini pizza bites, or some chicken fajita nachos. However, if you’d like to serve these wedges as a dinner side, I’d recommend serving them alongside a protein like chicken fajita kebabs.
Space them out on your baking sheet, and be sure to space them evenly. If you’re worried, space out the potato wedges with cheese even more by cooking them on two separate sheets.
Soaking potatoes in cold water before cooking reduces the amount of starch in them. If you’re using russet potatoes for this recipe, there’s already a smaller amount of starch in them so you don’t have to soak them. That said, if you’d like to cover your bases, you can feel free to soak them before you make your roasted potato wedges.
