Why aren’t my sweet potato wedges crispy?

If you want crispy sweet potato wedges instead of limp, soft ones, you need to ensure that your wedges are evenly sized; this means they will cook evenly and crisp up – it’s just the same if you want crispy sweet potato fries.

Don’t cut them too large; use medium sweet potatoes and just resist the temptation to oversize them.

Also, be sure not to overcrowd the wedges as this will prevent them from crisping up.

Do I have to peel a sweet potato?

Whether you’re cooking baked sweet potatoes or making sweet potato wedges, there is no need to peel them.

In fact, we truly believe that the best sweet potato wedges always have their skins on.

Just ensure that you wash sweet potatoes well before cooking.
