Potato wedges are a popular side dish made from thick slices of potatoes, seasoned and baked or fried until golden and crispy. Originating from Western cuisine, they are often served as a hearty alternative to fries. Typically prepared with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and occasionally herbs like rosemary, the seasoning enhances their natural flavor. When baked, potato wedges are a healthier choice, offering dietary fiber, vitamin C, and potassium. However, deep-fried versions can be high in calories and unhealthy fats. Their simple preparation and customizable seasoning make them versatile for various meals, from casual snacks to elegant dinners. Opting for baking and using minimal oil can maximize the nutritional benefits while reducing the health drawbacks.
