Crunchy Seasoned Baked Potato Wedges – Golden brown. Super crunchy. Perfectly seasoned. Why buy frozen ones when homemade is so much better and so easy to make??
Pssst. And did you know that the calories in potato wedges is less than half that of fries??
CRUNCHY Baked Potato Wedges!
Potato wedges are almost as popular as fries in Australia. When you go to a pub, there will inevitably be wedges on the bistro menu right alongside fries.
And there’s almost as many varieties of frozen potato wedges as there are fries. Different flavours, different crunch levels, normal potato and sweet potato, extra spicy – the list goes on and on.
I’m not going to deny that I have been known to have a stash of frozen wedges in my freezer. They are SUCH a great midnight snack….I can’t help it, I just can’t resist the convenience!
BUT as with everything, homemade is so much better. I’ve always noticed that the frozen ones have a slight sourness to them (I’ve also noticed that with frozen Potato Gems / Tater Tots) – anyone else notice that??
Coating potatoes in a light seasoning adds flavour and extra CRUNCH!

Potato Wedges Seasoning
I use a seasoning made with just paprika, garlic and onion powder, salt and pepper.
I’ve played around with various seasoning mixes, but keep falling back to this simple combination that I think closely resembles the seasoned wedges served at pubs and the ones you can get from the supermarket!
How to make potato wedges
Potato wedges are really simple to make – and faster than fries too because the potato is cut into larger pieces!! Just cut into wedges, toss in oil and the seasoning, then bake for 35 minutes until crunchy!
