help Potato Wedges FAQ
How are potato wedges cut?
Potato wedges are made by cutting potatoes lengthwise into thick, angular pieces, often with the skin left on. The thick shape gives them a browned outside and a tender center when baked, roasted, or fried.
How do you bake crispy potato wedges?
A Food Standards Agency recipe uses 4 large potatoes, oil, and seasoning, then bakes the wedges at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 to 30 minutes. They are ready when the outside is golden and crisp. [Food Standards Agency recipe](https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/potato-wedges?navref=quicklink)
What seasonings work well on potato wedges?
Salt, pepper, garlic, herbs, paprika, and chili are common choices. Tossing the wedges with oil and seasoning before cooking helps the flavor stick to the browned surface.
Are potato wedges the same as french fries?
No. Wedges are thick, angular pieces, while french fries are usually narrow sticks, although both can be fried. Wedges are also commonly baked or roasted, which leaves more soft potato inside.
