What is Baked Potato Wedges?
Baked Potato Wedges are potatoes cut lengthwise into thick wedges and roasted, often with a little oil and seasoning. They develop browned, crisp edges while staying soft and fluffy inside. The seasoning can be as simple as salt and pepper or include herbs and spices.
A familiar casual side in many English-speaking countries, they’re served with burgers, grilled food or a dipping sauce, and are easy to make at home. They’re mainly a carbohydrate-rich potato dish, with relatively little fat when baked with modest oil; they also provide some fibre. Pair them with a salad and a protein-rich main, or use a yogurt-based dip for a lighter accompaniment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Baked Potato Wedges
What potatoes are best for baked potato wedges?
Starchy potatoes, such as russets, usually make the fluffiest-centered baked potato wedges, while waxier potatoes hold their shape well but can be less fluffy. Choose firm potatoes without green patches or sprouts, and cut them into evenly sized wedges for consistent cooking.
How do you cut potatoes into wedges for baking?
Cut each potato lengthwise in half, then slice each half lengthwise into wedges of similar thickness. For larger potatoes, make additional lengthwise cuts. Even sizing matters more than making every wedge identical: pieces that are too different in size will finish cooking at different times.
Should you soak potatoes before making baked potato wedges?
Soaking is optional, but a brief soak in cold water can wash away some surface starch and help baked potato wedges brown. Drain them and dry them thoroughly before adding oil and seasoning; leftover moisture can make them steam instead of crisp.
How much oil should you use for baked potato wedges?
Use just enough oil to coat the surfaces of the baked potato wedges lightly; they should look coated, not greasy. Tossing the wedges in a bowl distributes oil more evenly than pouring it onto the baking sheet, where excess oil can pool.
What seasonings go well on baked potato wedges?
Paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt are classic seasonings for baked potato wedges. Dried herbs such as rosemary or oregano also work well. Toss the spices with the wedges before baking, but add fresh herbs after cooking so they do not burn.
Can you make baked potato wedges in a convection oven?
Yes, a convection oven works well for baked potato wedges because circulating air promotes even browning. Arrange the wedges in a single layer and turn them partway through cooking. Check them a little earlier than you would in a conventional oven, as they may brown faster.
Should you parboil potatoes before baking them as wedges?
No, parboiling is not necessary for baked potato wedges, but briefly boiling the cut pieces can soften their centers and help roughen their surfaces. Drain and dry them carefully before seasoning; wet wedges can steam and will not brown as effectively.
How long do leftover baked potato wedges keep in the fridge?
Leftover baked potato wedges keep for about three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Let them cool before storing, but do not leave them out for more than two hours. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
How do you reheat baked potato wedges so they stay crispy?
Reheat baked potato wedges in a hot oven or air fryer, spread out in a single layer, until hot and crisp at the edges. Avoid stacking them or covering them, which traps steam. A microwave warms them quickly but usually leaves the outside soft.
What dips go well with baked potato wedges?
Baked potato wedges pair well with ketchup, garlic aioli, ranch dressing, or a tangy yogurt dip. Serve the dip on the side rather than coating the wedges, so their browned edges stay crisp. A squeeze of lemon can also brighten strongly seasoned wedges.
