Potato wedges are incredibly easy to make—and they cook up faster than traditional fries because the potatoes are cut into larger pieces. They are also healthier than fries, because potato logs are baked. Simply cut the potatoes into wedges, toss them with oil and your favorite seasoning, and bake until golden brown and crunchy!
Cutting potato wedges is much easier than cutting fries! Start by cutting the potato in half lengthwise. Place each half cut-side down on your cutting board.
Cut each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size of the potato.This gives you perfectly sized wedges with plenty of crispy edges and a tender, fluffy center.
This Gator Dust creole seasoning give the potato logs a little kick, but not too much. Adding this to the seasoning gives this dish a bolder, more interesting flavor.

Notes
- I used Gator Dust Cajun Seasoning, but if you have a cajun seasoning preference, you can easily substitute.

- Be sure to dry the potatoes well after washing.
- I prefer the Yukon Gold potatoes for this recipe, but use your personal preference.
