Rosemary and lemon wedges FAQ:

What type of potatoes should I use for rosemary and lemon wedges?

For the best results, use starchy potatoes like Russets or Yukon Golds. These varieties will yield crispy edges while remaining fluffy on the inside.

How do I know when the potato wedges are done baking?

The wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the outside and tender when pierced with a fork. If they aren't at this stage after 35 minutes, continue baking in 5-minute increments.

Can I make substitutions for the olive oil or rosemary?

Yes, you can substitute olive oil with another oil such as canola or avocado oil. Fresh rosemary can be replaced with dried rosemary, but use about one-third of the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.

How should I store leftover potato wedges?

Store any leftover wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes to regain crispness.

What size baking sheet do I need for this recipe?

A large baking sheet (approximately 18x13 inches) is recommended to give the wedges enough space for even cooking. If necessary, use two sheets to avoid overcrowding.

Cooking Tips:

- For extra crispiness, bake the potato wedges on a wire rack placed on a baking sheet. This allows air to circulate around the potatoes.

- To ensure even cooking, make sure the potato wedges are cut into similar sizes.

- Feel free to add garlic or other herbs like thyme for additional flavor.

- If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the potato wedges just before serving.

- Parboiling the potatoes for a few minutes before baking can make the insides even fluffier.
