Why Are My Potato Wedges Not Crispy?
About 1/2 inch thick is what wedges should be. They won’t crisp up correctly if they are cut too thickly. Put potatoes in a dish of cold water with around two cups of ice cubes to soak. After letting them stand for thirty minutes, carefully pat them dry using paper towels or a tea towel.

Should You Soak Potatoes in Salt Water Before Baking?
The chef suggested that soaking whole potatoes for up to six hours in brine, a mixture of water, salt, and occasionally sugar and other ingredients, to produce the most fragrant baked potatoes.
