Natural Cut Potato Wedges
What it is
These are pre-cut potato wedges, designed for convenience in the kitchen. They are made from whole potatoes that have been washed, cut into wedge shapes, and typically lightly seasoned. The natural cut style means the skin is left on, providing a more rustic appearance and texture. They are ready to be cooked using various methods, saving preparation time.
How people cook with it
These wedges are a versatile side dish that can complement a wide range of meals. Their shape and texture make them suitable for baking, frying, or air frying.
- Baked as a side
- Air-fried for crispness
- Added to sheet pan meals
- Served with dips
To prepare, spread the potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet or in an air fryer basket. For baking, you can toss them with a little oil and your favorite seasonings before placing them in a preheated oven until golden brown and tender. If air frying, follow your appliance's instructions, usually at a moderate temperature until they achieve the desired crispness. They can also be incorporated into larger dishes like roasted vegetable medleys.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike frozen fries, these wedges often have a fresher taste and a less uniform shape, reflecting their natural cut. The skin-on preparation contributes to a slightly chewier texture and a more earthy flavor compared to peeled potato products.

How to keep the rest
After opening the package, store any unused potato wedges in an airtight container or resealable bag in the refrigerator. It is best to use them within a few days to maintain their quality and freshness for cooking.
