Notes
Feel free to customize the spices according to your taste – adding herbs like rosemary or thyme can enhance the flavor. For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in water for 30 minutes before baking, then dry thoroughly before seasoning and tossing with oil. This dish pairs well with grilled meats, fish, or can be served as a part of a vegetarian meal.
