💡 Pro Tips

  • Ultra-crispy hack: Soak raw wedges in cold water for 20–30 minutes, then dry very well before seasoning.
  • Add heat: Mix in cayenne or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; reheat in an air fryer or hot oven for best texture.
  • Swap the potatoes: Yukon Golds give a creamier inside with the same crispy edges.
