Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scrub potatoes clean. Cut each potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 3-4 wedges (about 1-inch thick at the widest part).

Let soak for 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This removes excess starch, which helps them crisp up in the oven.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drain and pat wedges completely dry with paper towels.

Don&#8217;t crowd them\u2014give each wedge some space for air to circulate. Use two baking sheets if needed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Bake to Crispy Perfection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and flip each wedge using tongs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Return to oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes until the wedges are golden brown, crispy on the edges, and easily pierced with a fork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For extra crispiness, broil for the final 2-3 minutes\u2014watch closely to prevent burning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:61px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 6: Serve Immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Transfer wedges to a serving platter.
