Simple Ingredients
POTATOES Mostly, any potato will do, but we prefer russets because they have more starch in them and make for a fluffier interior.
Short on time? Use a bag of frozen potato wedges in place of fresh.
SEASONING MIX Our blend of seasonings make these potato wedges super flavorful and perfect for dipping and dunking. Feel free to use fresh herbs or dried.
OIL Olive oil or vegetable oil work well in this recipe and best of all, you’ll just need a little bit.
