Potato wedges are a popular side dish or snack made from large chunks of potatoes, typically seasoned and baked or fried until golden and crispy. Originating from Western cuisine, they are a hearty and comforting food often paired with dips like sour cream, ketchup, or cheese sauce. The wedges are commonly made with russet or Yukon gold potatoes, sliced into wedge shapes and seasoned with spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or herbs. When baked, potato wedges can be a healthier alternative to traditional fried snacks, offering fiber, potassium, and essential vitamins found in the potato skin. However, the nutritional profile can vary greatly depending on preparation methods; frying or adding excess salt, butter, or rich toppings makes them less healthy. Opting for baked or air-fried versions with minimal oil and seasoning can boost their dietary benefits while preserving their satisfying flavor and texture.
