How do you cut sweet potato wedges? Cut yam in half, then slice through potato, you might have 6-8 wedges from each potato, it depends on the size. The other important tip is to use sharp knife since they are harder to cut.
Why are my sweet potato wedges soggy? Probably they are not really spread nicely on the baking sheet, they should have some air between them for circulation, so spread them around, also maybe they were baked too long.
