Notes and Tips
- Essential Equipment: rectangular pan (about 13 × 9 inches).
- To have success with this Baked Potato Wedges recipe, cut up potatoes just before baking. Use Russet or Idaho potatoes because they are the best for baking.
- Before you roast, parboil the potatoes in salty, acidic water. The acid will help the potatoes keep their shape while getting tender, the salt will season them, and the boiling will gel the outer layer of starch.
- Place your baking sheet into the oven as it heats. Potatoes will be less likely to stick to a hot, hot pan, and the browning process will begin more quickly too.
- Don’t shake and flip your potatoes too often, as that will interrupt the browning process.

How do you cut potato wedges?
Can you freeze or refrigerate potato wedges?
If you want to refrigerate them, keep in mind that will have a slightly different taste after you’ll take them out from the refrigerator and reheated… it is potato after all… You can keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. In order to freeze them, it is best to wrap them up individually and then place the wedges in the freezer. The potatoes can be kept in the freezer for up to 1-1 1/2 months if frozen solid. Before you reheat them, let the wedges for 5 minutes at room temp.
Can you cut potato wedges ahead of time?
Cut the potatoes a maximum of 8 hours ahead and then store them submerged in water, covered, in the refrigerator. This will keep them from turning brown.
