Potato Wedges

Look, a potato is a potato no matter how you cut it. Deep fried or roasted in the oven it’s gonna be great. Our potato wedges are covered in cheese AND dipped in caesar dressing. How bad could that actually be? Our potato wedges are made with russets. The potatoes are sliced into wedges and seasoned with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. All of those are key to maximizing baked potato potential.

 Best Potato to use for baking

There are hundreds of different types of potatoes and we love them all. But to find the easiest solution for wedge making russets are the way to go. A potato with higher starch content is best for french fries, baked potato, or wedges. Idaho and Yukon's fall in that category as well. And, if you wanted to try sweet potatoes or Japanese purple potatoes you totally can!

How do I get crispy potatoes in the oven?

You definitely want a potato with higher starch content as the sugars will caramelize and make for one delicious wedge. But, you also want the oven temperature to be higher than the 350 or 375 degrees you’re used to seeing everywhere in baking or roasting. 

I don’t like caesar dressing.

We love it but if you don’t there are more options where that came from. Blue cheese dressing is always good- not just on chicken wings either-, red wine vinaigrette to channel those salt and vinegar vibes, and the ole classic ranch dressing.Other types of Potato centric recipesAir fryer crispy potatoes are a pot roast or roasted chicken dinner side winner.Pan fried potatoes are easy enough without all the oil in deep frying.Garlic smashed potatoes are excellent because they are full of garlic.Fried mashed potato balls just because why the heck not!
