this is where a generous amount of olive oil spray will be your best friend. even if i don't spray the pan enough or cover it entirely, some of the potato wedges will stick. this will also cause the potato wedges to be less crispy. and it's no surprise that nobody wants that!
this is not a must-do for this recipe, in fact, i usually don't. however, i will say that soaking your cut potato wedges in cold water prior to baking will create a crispier texture.
sometimes i make these just to have a snack or if i don't want a whole meal. however, they pair great with burgers, grilled chicken and other roasted vegetables.
yes you can! they will obviously taste different than a regular potato but will still be delicious. the spices will hold up well with sweet potato and you can still prepare the recipe in the same exact way.
