  • Serve the wedges immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, mayonnaise, or ranch dressing.
  • For a healthier option, bake the wedges instead of frying them.
  • To add a smoky flavor, grill the wedges instead of baking or frying them.
  • For a more flavorful dipping sauce, mix together ketchup, mayonnaise, and sriracha.
  • To make the wedges ahead of time, cut and coat the potatoes in the spice mixture, then store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking or frying.
