# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You won't believe these wedges come out so crispy with just a bake and a little kitchen magic.
  • They soak up all the flavors and make every dipping sauce taste like a new adventure.
02 -
  • If you don't dry freshly soaked potatoes thoroughly, you miss out on extra crunch—they simply steam in the oven.
  • Flipping them at halftime is the secret to evenly crisp wedges no matter how crowded your baking sheet gets.
03 -
  • Letting wedges rest a minute before serving helps the exterior set perfectly crisp.
  • A sprinkle of grated Parmesan or extra paprika just out of the oven makes them taste truly next level.
