Potato Wedges vs. Fries
There are so many different ways to make a potato wedge. Some people like their wedges extra crispy and some people like a classic fried jojos (deep fried potato wedges). What is the difference between potato wedges and fries? Wedges are potatoes that are cut into thick wedges rather than small thin fries like our Crispy Baked Sweet Potato Fries. Wedges turn out a bit heartier than fries! These potato wedges are perfect! They are moist on the inside and golden brown on the outside. You just can’t go wrong.
The Key to Perfect Wedges
Potato wedges are pretty forgiving! However, there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure you end up with perfectly crispy wedgies.
Make sure you cut all the wedges generally the same thickness. When you are tossing the potato wedges in oil, be sure you use enough oil and coat the whole wedge. Don’t under season! Be sure you use enough seasoning to really give those wedges a ton of flavor!
The Best Seasoning for Potato Wedges
How you season your potato wedges is totally up to you! We went with a classic potato seasoning and tossed these wedges with lawrys seasoning salt, dried rosemary, and dried thyme.
