LET'S TALK POTATO WEDGES
There are many variations on making Potato wedges,
You can make them with peeled or skin-on potatoes,
You can use a marinade or season with just about any
dry ingredient you can think of.
You can deep fry them or bake them or fry them in a skillet.
Once your wedges are done you can top them with
shredded cheeses, sour creme or just dip them in ketchup
whatever you prefer. I am sharing several different wedge recipes today,
I'm sure you will find one you like.
