    should we soak the potato wedges in water for 30 minutes to get rid of most of the starch?

      Hi, I didn’t soak the potato wedges before baking and they came out well. You can soak them if you like, make sure to dry them completely before baking 🙂

    Do we need to put foil on the baking sheet?

      No, it’s better to put potatoes directly on the tray so it’s easier to turn 😀

    Which types of potatoes do you recommend ? (Idaho/russets or white/Irish or reds/also whites but different, or yukon golds/yellows ?) One of your commentators said she had no luck with the Idaho/russets, which are generally considered the standard in BAKING potatoes. Which type do YOU use ?

      Hi, I used Russet potatoes and they are the best type for this recipe 🙂
