Potato Wedges

Crispy and crunchy on the outside while tender and fluffy on the side, these roasted potato wedges are a staple side that complements so many different meals.

Why this recipe works

If you’re like me and appreciate thicker cut french fries, potato wedges are for you. They’re super simple to make and bake up beautifully into delicate golden wedges that are seasoned and sprinkled with chives.

Roasting your potato wedges will take away the oily mess of deep-frying while still producing tender, crispy fries.

POTATOES – We suggest using Russet potatoes for these wedges. Though you can substitute with red potatoes or Yukon Gold if Russet isn’t available near you.

We’re using a mixture of minced garlic, Creole seasoning, black pepper, onion powder, and a sprinkle of chives. You can also top your wedges with some parmesan cheese towards the end of the bake time if you’d like or add a bit of a kick with some cajun seasoning.
