Can I use small potatoes?

Absolutely. Simply cut them in half or into smaller wedges. Keep an eye on cooking time since smaller pieces may cook faster.

Can I replace rosemary?

Yes. Italian seasoning is a popular substitute and adds wonderful flavor. Thyme, oregano, or parsley also work nicely.

Can I add Parmesan cheese?

Definitely. Many home cooks love adding Parmesan for extra flavor and crunch. Sprinkle it on before the final few minutes of baking.

Why aren't my potato wedges crispy?

The most common reasons are overcrowding the pan or not roasting at a high enough temperature. Make sure the wedges have space and bake at 425°F.

Can I reheat leftovers?

Yes. An air fryer works especially well for bringing back that crispy texture. A few minutes at a high temperature usually does the trick.

How long do leftovers keep?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
