Nothing more comforting than freshly baked crispy potatoes. Especially sweet potatoes! Sweet, crispy, and so tasty! They are easy to make and ready in about 40 minutes. The key to getting that crispy texture on the outside is to make sure you soak the potato wedges for an hour. This will take out the excess starch from the sweet potatoes. Another essential step is to add some sort of starchy flour to absorb any leftover moisture. We love using either corn starch, potato starch, or tapioca flour. Another option would be using arrowroot powder. Baked sweet potato wedges are perfect to enjoy as a snack or serve as a side dish. It works really well with almost everything!
