Notes
How to Store & Re-Heat
To store: Allow them to cool completely after baking. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container or a zip-top bag. You can refrigerate the potato wedges for up to 3-4 days. It's best to store them in a single layer to maintain their crispness. When you're ready to reheat, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the potato wedges on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 10-15 minutes or until heated. This will help them regain their crispy exterior while ensuring they are warmed. Alternatively, you can reheat them in an air fryer for a few minutes until they are hot and crispy.
To reheat: You can use a microwave for smaller portions or individual Baked Garlic Potato Wedges servings. Place the desired amount of wedges on a microwave-safe plate and microwave them on high for 1-2 minutes or until heated through. Remember that reheating in the microwave may result in a slightly less crispy texture than using the oven or air fryer. Regardless of the method you choose, it's best to enjoy the potato wedges immediately after reheating to savor their delicious flavor and texture fully.
Make-Ahead
Baked Garlic Potato Wedges can be made ahead of time to save preparation time. After baking, allow the potato wedges to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer them to an airtight container or a zip-top bag and refrigerate for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), arrange the potato wedges on a baking sheet, and reheat them for about 10-15 minutes or until they are heated through and crispy. This make-ahead option allows you to enjoy the convenience of having pre-cooked potato wedges that can be easily reheated for a quick and delicious side dish.
How to Freeze
To freeze Baked Garlic Potato Wedges, allow them to cool completely after baking. Once cooled, transfer the potato wedges to a freezer-safe container or a zip-top freezer bag. It's best to freeze them in a single layer or with layers separated by parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. Label the container or bag with the date and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to enjoy the frozen wedges, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Arrange the desired amount of potato wedges on a baking sheet and bake them for about 15-20 minutes or until they are heated through and crispy. Freezing Baked Garlic Potato Wedges allows you to have a convenient and tasty side dish whenever needed.
