Helpful tip!
The secret to getting super crisp baked potato wedges (well one of them anyway), is to make sure the wedges are spread out a bit on the baking sheet.
If you pile them all up on the baking sheet, there won’t be enough room for the hot air to circulate, and they will end up sort of steaming, instead of getting golden brown and crispy.
So for that reason, I like to bake these on several baking sheets, and they all end up beautifully crisp.
