How to Bake Potato Wedges: Crispy Baked Potato Wedges

Potatoes can be a healthy supplement to any meal; as long as they are enjoyed in moderation and not fried in oil or loaded with fattening toppings. Baked or roasted potato wedges are a simple way to enjoy crispy potato fries, without all the added oil and saturated fat. All you need is a little bit of healthy olive oil and some seasonings for crisp, flavorful oven baked potato wedges.

You can use any type of potatoes, but the larger brown russet potatoes will be the closest to french fries; with a crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside.

Speaking of nutrients, 1 medium potato (about 210 grams) has the following:

160 calories, 0.2 grams of fat (yes that’s a zero in front), 37 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber and 4 grams of protein.
