Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the onion soup mix before coating the potatoes. You can substitute olive oil for vegetable oil for a healthier option. If you prefer a crispy texture, preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the wedges. Also, ensure that the wedges are spread out on the sheet to promote even browning.

Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them out on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes, until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving, as this can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used as a substitute for regular potatoes in this recipe. They will add a slightly different flavor and sweetness, which pairs well with the onion soup mix. Just keep an eye on the baking time, as sweet potatoes may cook faster.
How can I make this recipe vegan?
To make this recipe vegan, ensure that the dry onion soup mix you use is free of animal products. Some brands may contain dairy, so check the ingredients or make your own mix using dehydrated onions, garlic powder, and herbs. The rest of the recipe remains the same.
Can I prepare the wedges in advance?
Absolutely! You can cut the potatoes and coat them with oil and soup mix a few hours before baking. Just store them in the refrigerator in the Ziploc bag until you’re ready to bake. This allows the flavors to meld even more before cooking.
