Best Potatoes For Potato Wedges

I recommend using Russet potatoes to make potato wedges because they are high in starch and low in moisture. This makes them ideal for frying and baking compared to other types of potatoes. If you are living in the UK, I would recommend trying a white potato for this recipe. That will be the closest potato to the russet.

How to Cut Potato Wedges

The key to this recipe turning out right is cutting thin enough wedges so they cook well. I get a good 7 to 8 slices out of each potato, and they come out soft in the inside, but with a nice crispiness on the edges.

You want to cut them in half and then in half again and then cut each fourth in half as well. For the best results, try to keep the wedges equal in size so they cook evenly.

Potato Wedges Seasoning

When I first started making this recipe, I used a store-bought grill seasoning. Now I have so many different seasoning recipes published that would be delicious on these roasted potato wedges. I love using my homemade grill seasoning or my Montreal steak seasoning.

Grill Seasoning

Grill Seasoning is the perfect homemade spice mix to use in so many different ways. Use it as steak seasoning or throw it on vegetables!

Potato Wedges in the Air Fryer

These potato wedges can also be made in the air fryer if you don’t want to heat up you oven. I have a really simple recipe for them that you can find here: Air Fryer Potato Wedges.

Dipping Sauces

These crispy potato wedges can be enjoyed alone, with ketchup, or with your favorite sauce. Here are a few ideas:

Storing and Reheating Leftover Potato Wedges

Store any leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat in the oven or air fryer, tossing halfway through.

These work as the side of so many different recipes, sandwiches, and burgers, but here are a few of my favorites.

    All sounds good! My top round roast is only 1.38 pounds. How long should that be cooked for medium rare??

    • Lisa Longley says

      I’m very very late in responding to this, but I would start checking a roast that small at about 25 minutes into the second half of the cooking. (So after you have turned the oven down)

  2. Beverly Capone says

    What is grilling seasoning? Never heard of it.

    Thank you 🐢

    • Lisa Longley says

      We have a recipe for it. You can find that here: Grill Seasoning.

    Do you peel the potatoes first? They look really good. I like recipes with only 3 ingredients.

    • Lisa Longley says

      Nope! One of the things I love best about this recipe.

    Simple and delicious. I don’t have a lot of confidence in my air fryer, so I appreciated the instructions. Turned out great!

    • Lisa Longley says

      If you click on the word “grill seasoning” in the recipe card, it will take you to the recipe for it. Otherwise it can be purchased.

  8. Judith Guegold says

    What is grill seasoning? Is there a substitute if I don’t have it?

    • Lisa Longley says

      Hi Judith! There is a link in the recipe for how to make your own grill seasoning. You probably already have everything to make it. Otherwise, there is a section in the post with several ideas for other seasonings.
