Wedges are crispy, thick-cut pieces of potato that are typically seasoned and either baked or fried to golden perfection. Originating from Western cuisine, they have become a global favorite, often served as a complement to main dishes or as a snack. Wedges can be made from russet, Yukon gold, or sweet potatoes, offering various flavors and textures. When baked, they're a healthier choice, retaining fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, which contribute to heart health and immunity. Seasoned with herbs and spices, they can be a lower-calorie alternative to French fries. However, frying wedges increases their fat and calorie content, making them less nutritious. Choosing whole grain or healthier dipping sauces like yogurt-based options can enhance their nutritional value. Whether crisped up in an oven or sizzling in a pan, wedges are a versatile and satisfying dish enjoyed across cultures.
