Tips to Make Potato Mojos

1. For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in water for 30 minutes before seasoning. This removes starch and helps them crisp up in the oven.
2. Feel free to experiment with different spices. Adding chili powder or cayenne pepper can give your Mojos a spicy kick.
3. Make sure to spread the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. This helps them cook evenly and become crispy.

Variation

You can add cheese to your Potato Mojos for a cheesy treat. Just sprinkle shredded cheese over the wedges during the last 5 minutes of baking for a delicious, gooey topping.
