Irish Herbed Potato Wedges
This dish brings the rustic charm of Idaho potatoes together with the bright flavors of fresh herbs, creating a side that’s both hearty and elegant. Whether you’re serving them alongside a family meal or as a stand-alone snack, these wedges are sure to impress. The golden, crispy exterior and tender inside make them an irresistible treat, while the fresh dill, parsley, and chives add a refreshing, aromatic touch.
Preparation Tip: To ensure your potato wedges bake evenly and achieve that perfect crispness, cut them into uniform sizes and avoid overcrowding them on the baking sheet. Spreading them out in a single layer allows for better air circulation, resulting in wedges that are beautifully browned and crunchy on the outside.
