Potato wedges are thick-cut slices of potatoes, seasoned and baked or fried to golden perfection. Originating from Western cuisine, they are a popular side dish or snack, offering a hearty alternative to traditional french fries. Typically seasoned with a blend of spices like paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper, these wedges are often prepared with their skin on, retaining added fiber and nutrients. When baked, they provide a lower-fat option compared to their fried counterpart, though frying increases their calorie and fat content. Potatoes are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and carbohydrates for energy, while their fiber content supports digestion. However, moderation is key, as excessive oil, salt, or calorie-heavy dipping sauces can diminish their health benefits. Enjoy them as a versatile comfort food, pairing well with a variety of meals or standing alone as a satisfying snack.
