Baked Potato Wedges
These baked potato wedges are loaded with flavors and have a crispy texture. They’re a fun finger food to try! If you are looking for some heartier bites or a great side dish, these little baked potato bites are sure to be a hit! They’re great as party appetizers or for a sharing plate. I’ve brought them to potlucks and picnics a few times with various dipping sauces and they’re always well liked. Not only that, but they’re easy to make. They don’t require much prep time and kids will love them.
We’re first going to wash potatoes and cut them into wedges. (I personally don’t peel them, but that’s a personal preference.) Then we’ll add some dried herbs, light seasonings, and olive oil and mix it all together. I always bake these potato wedges, rather than fry them, for health reasons. They are gluten-free too.
You can get more creative and add your choice of seasonings and dipping sauces. Personally, I love these baked potato wedges with smoky BBQ sauce. Some of my friends like to dip them in Tahini Sauce. Others prefer them with an Asian sweet chili sauce. They can also be a perfect snack with sour cream. It just depends on your personal preference or what you have handy. This baked potato wedges recipe can be very versatile.
