Best ways to enjoy it
These roasted garlic and herb potato wedges make for a fantastic appetizer or side dish. Consider pairing them with grilled meats, like chicken or steak, or serving them alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Storage and reheating tips
To keep your leftover potato wedges fresh, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid the microwave, as it can make them soggy. If you want to keep them longer, freeze the cooked wedges for up to a month. Just make sure they are fully cooled before freezing.
Helpful cooking tips
For added depth of flavor, consider marinating the potato wedges in the olive oil and seasonings for 30 minutes before roasting. You can also experiment with different herbs, like oregano or even smoked paprika, for a unique twist. If you love extra crunch, consider adding some grated Parmesan cheese during the last 5 minutes of roasting for a wonderful cheesy crust!
