Ingredients
Instructions
- Spray a shallow baking pan with cooking spray.

Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding garlic powder or paprika to the Creole seasoning mix. If you're out of Creole seasoning, a combination of paprika, cayenne pepper, and dried herbs can work as a substitute. To ensure even cooking, make sure the wedges are cut uniformly, and avoid overcrowding the baking pan for optimal crispiness.
Serving Suggestions
These Creole potato wedges are a fantastic side dish for grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a snack with dipping sauces like ketchup or ranch dressing. They pair beautifully with Frankie'S Marinated Carrots for a vibrant plate. Consider serving them alongside a refreshing salad or as part of a larger spread with Marinated Beef for a hearty meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, spread them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through and crispy again. Avoid microwaving as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
Yes, sweet potatoes can be used for a sweeter, healthier twist. They will require a slightly shorter baking time, so keep an eye on them after 40 minutes to prevent overcooking.
What can I serve with these potato wedges?
These wedges are versatile; they pair well with burgers, grilled chicken, or even as a side for a vegan meal like the 7-Layer Tofu Salad. Dipping sauces like aioli or spicy ketchup also complement them nicely.
How do I make them spicier?
To increase the spice level, add more cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the Creole seasoning before coating the wedges. Alternatively, serve them with Plantation Hot Sauce on the side for an extra kick.
