Tips & Substitutions
For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking, then pat dry. You can substitute the cooking oil with olive oil for a richer flavor. If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, try using nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option. Adding a sprinkle of chili powder can also enhance the flavor for those who enjoy a bit of heat.
