For a change of pace from red potatoes, Grandma often made these wedges with sweet potatoes. For her sweet potato version, Grandma would use about 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar mixed with about 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon instead of the mustard, rosemary, garlic salt and black pepper called for in the original recipe. Then she would coat the potato wedges with the cinnamon-sugar mixture and bake them as the recipe directs.
