Commonly Asked Questions

Why soak the potatoes in ice water before baking?

Soaking removes excess starch, which allows the wedges to bake up crispier. It’s a small extra step that makes a big difference!

Can I use sweet potatoes instead of russet potatoes?

Yes, but note that sweet potatoes may not get as crispy as russets due to their higher sugar content.

What can I use instead of tamari?

You can substitute tamari with low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a slightly different flavor.

How do I make these wedges even crispier?

For maximum crispiness, space the wedges evenly on the baking sheet without overlapping. This helps the heat circulate and avoids steaming.

Can I make these potato wedges in an air fryer?

Definitely! Air fry at 400°F for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crisping.
