Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme to the potato wedges before roasting. If you're short on butter, olive oil is a great substitute. To ensure even cooking, cut the wedges into uniform sizes. For a crispy finish, turn the wedges halfway through baking. Try pairing these with a creamy dip or serving alongside your favorite protein for a complete meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of potatoes for this recipe?
Yes, you can use other potatoes like Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, but cooking times may vary slightly. Red potatoes are ideal for their creamy texture, but any starchy or waxy variety will work well for roasting.
How can I make these potato wedges spicier?
To add some heat, sprinkle chili powder or cayenne pepper over the wedges before roasting. You can also toss them in a bit of hot sauce mixed with the butter for a spicy kick that enhances the garlic flavor.
Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?
Absolutely! You can substitute the butter with vegan margarine or olive oil, and use nutritional yeast in place of the Parmesan cheese for a cheesy flavor without dairy. This adaptation keeps the dish delicious while accommodating vegan diets.
