Garlic Potato Wedges Substitutions and Alterations
Garlic Powder – If you prefer fresh garlic, I’d recommend waiting until the very end to avoid burning. Add oil and garlic to a small bowl and pour over the potatoes in the last 5-10 minutes. Be careful when broiling as it could burn the garlic quickly.
Seasoning – You can get creative with the seasonings. Add your favorite burger seasoning or even Italian seasoning works great.
Potatoes – I like Yukon gold potatoes because the skin has a mild taste. You could substitute russet or sweet potatoes in this recipe.
Oil – I prefer to use avocado oil because it is essentially flavorless and has a high smoke point. You could use any other high smoke point oil.

Crispy Baked Potato Wedges Tips and Tricks
If you don’t want to use your hands, you can prepare them in a bowl. Add the potatoes and oil to a large bowl. Shake it around to coat.
In a separate small bowl, combine your seasonings. Pour them over the potatoes as you shake to coat them completely.
To get the potatoes extra crispy on both sides, you can flip the potatoes halfway through.

How to serve Crispy Baked Potato Wedges
- Burgers – French fries are the perfect companion to your favorite burger. I really like them with Greek Turkey Burgers. Adding Greek Seasoning and then dipping them in extra tzatziki sauce.
- Sandwiches – Salty potato wedges go great with sandwiches.
- Seafood – Crispy seafood and potato wedges are a great combination. I like them with air-fried shrimp.
- Stacked – Serve them on their own stacked high with your favorite toppings. You can pile them with chili, pizza toppings, or taco-style with ground beef and cheese.
How to store Oven Crispy Potato Wedges
Refrigerator – You can store these in the refrigerator for up to two days. I do not recommend this method because they will lose their crispyness. If you do decide to store them in the refrigerator, be sure to use an air-tight container.
Freezer – Place the potato wedges on a baking sheet and put them into the freezer. After freezing, remove them from the baking sheet and put them in a freezer safe bag.
How to reheat Garlic Potato Wedges
You’ll want to make sure the potato wedges get crispy again.
From refrigeration – It’s best to reheat them in the oven with low heat (300°F) or in the air fryer. I prefer the air fryer since it gets them nice and crispy again.
From frozen – Remove the potato wedges from the freezer and place on a baking sheet. Bake from frozen at 450°F for 30-35 minutes.
