M&S Sweet Potato Wedges
What it is
These are pre-cut sweet potato wedges, ready for cooking. They are made from sweet potatoes, a root vegetable known for its vibrant orange flesh and naturally sweet flavor. The wedges are typically coated with a light seasoning to enhance their taste and texture when prepared. They offer a convenient way to enjoy sweet potatoes without the need for peeling and chopping.
How people cook with it
These wedges are a versatile side dish or addition to meals. They can be prepared in various ways to suit different tastes and cooking methods.
- As a side with grilled meats
- In a hearty salad
- As a snack with dip
- Topped with cheese
To cook, preheat your oven to the recommended temperature, usually around 200°C (400°F). Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. For crispier wedges, ensure they are not overcrowded on the tray. Bake for the time indicated on the packaging, typically 20-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even browning. They can also be cooked in an air fryer or pan-fried.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular potato wedges, these are made from sweet potatoes, which have a distinct sweetness and a softer texture when cooked. The natural sugars in sweet potatoes caramelize more readily, giving them a slightly different flavor profile and appearance compared to white potatoes.

How to keep the rest
Once opened, store any remaining sweet potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to consume them within a few days of opening to maintain their freshness and quality. Ensure they are kept cold until ready for cooking.
