Tips for Making The Best Sweet Potato Wedges
- Choose sweet potatoes that are generally the same size with smooth skin and minimum bumps and curves. This makes them easier to slice into wedges.
- Always scrub the sweet potatoes well before preparing and cooking. Not only does it remove any residual dirt, it also makes the skin less tough. I don’t peel my sweet potatoes when making this recipe because there are so many good nutrients and fiber in the skin, plus it help keeps the potato tender and moist while cooking!
- For a softer sweet potato wedge, cut your wedges thick. The ones in these photos are sliced thin.
- Most of the crunch for this recipe comes from the coating as it bakes up nice and crisp. Having said that though, do shake off the excess coating after dredging. Too much coating overwhelms the sweet potato.
- Want to make the dredging quick and easy? Mix the Parmesan and seasonings in a large zip top bag. Toss in egg coated potatoes, seal the top and shake. Remove from the bag, shake loose any excess, then arrange on baking sheet!
How to Safely Cut Sweet Potato Wedges
- Scrub your potatoes well using a vegetable brush.
- Make sure you are using a sharp knife because sweet potatoes are rather hard.
- Trim both ends from the sweet potatoes.
- Cut a small flat spot on one side of the side sweet potato so that the potato lies firmly on the cutting board without rocking back and forth.
- Cut in half lengthwise.
- Cut in half lengthwise again.
- Slice lengthwise wedges from the quarters.
