Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use turkey bacon?
Yes, but it cooks differently and may not crisp as much as traditional bacon.
Should I boil the potatoes first?
Not necessary. Thick wedges cook fully in the oven, though parboiling can speed things up.
Why is my bacon still soft?
Use a wire rack over the baking sheet and avoid thick-cut bacon if you want maximum crispness.
Can I make these in an air fryer?
Yes. Cook at 380°F for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway.
Can I prep them ahead of time?
Yes. Assemble and refrigerate several hours before baking.
Can I freeze leftovers?
You can, though the potato texture may soften after thawing.
