Wedge fries are always a favorite in our house. They are simple to make and go well with most main courses, as well as an appetizer or snack. You can use a variety of herbs and seasonings to make these fit your taste buds. This example will be using rosemary since I feel that rosemary and potatoes go together so incredibly well!
Potato Wedge Fries with Rosemary
Preheat oven for 400 degrees.
Combine the cut potatoes, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl and toss until the potatoes are well coated. Add garlic and rosemary. Toss lightly.
Lay wedges on their sides onto a lightly sprayed stone or cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes in middle of the oven.
Remove from oven and carefully flip the wedges with a small spatula so that they are facing the opposite direction.
Bake for another 10 minutes.
Remove and, if desired, sprinkle cheese onto wedges and bake for another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Serve.
** I love rosemary and garlic with these. You can also use other fresh herbs as well or try different combinations. If you want to add a little zip to them, replace 1/2 tsp of the olive oil with chili oil when doing the initial toss! **
I make soomething similar to this I love potatoes with Rosemary. I am going to do more cooking soon on my blog.

Look forward to getting to read some of your recipes! 🙂
Oh yum!
Thanks! They find their way into our dinners quite often!
These look delicious. I do potatoes like this often with a rub like the ones you use for steak or fish. When I was in New York (oh, how I love saying that! Must go back some time!) I bought a box of little tins of different rubs from Dean and Deluca and a teaspoon or two on potatoes done like this makes spicy wedges which are a great favourite at our house. Great with mild things like fish and salad. I love the look of your blog! Thanks for visiting mine!
Thanks Imelda! I’ll have to try them with a rub sometime!
These look tasty! A good replacement for the french fry lovers in our lives!
Yes indeed! No frying or heavy oils! And just as tasty!!
