Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Cool to room temperature, and transfer them to an airtight container. You can store them in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To reheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated.
You can also reheat them in a microwave by placing them on a microwave-safe plate and heating them in 30-second intervals until heated.
Make-Ahead
You can slice the potatoes into wedges and store them in a water container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before using. You can mix the seasoning blend in advance and store it in an airtight container until you're ready to use it.
This can save you time and make the recipe come together quickly. You can also mix the all-purpose flour with the seasoning blend in advance and store it in an airtight container until you're ready to coat the potato wedges. You can line a baking sheet with parchment paper in advance so it's ready to go when you're ready to bake the potato wedges.
How to Freeze
While it is possible to freeze these spicy potato wedges, it may affect their texture and flavor.
After being frozen and thawed, the potato wedges may become mushy, and the coating may become less crispy. If you do choose to freeze the potato wedges, here's how to do it:
Allow the potato wedges to cool to room temperature. Place the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 1-2 hours or until they are frozen solid.
Transfer the frozen potato wedges to a freezer-safe container or freezer bag and label it with the date and contents. Freeze the potato wedges for up to 2-3 months.
