These Spicy Baked Potato Wedges are the best side dish to serve with a juicy hamburger. Tossed in a zesty spice blend, they are baked to crispy perfection.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. I could eat potatoes day and night, every day of the year and never get bored. So many varieties, they create a blank canvas to create many spud inspired meals! This is just another delicious potato recipe I came up with!
When I’m cooking, I mentally go down the list of what could I make with potatoes to go with this meal. Since the possibilities are literally endless with potatoes, I have quite a few options to choose from. As you can see potato wedges were the winning choice this time!
I mean who doesn’t like their tacos and french fries? So I thought why not try and combine both flavors in some way! That’s how these Spicy Baked Potato Wedges came to be.
I chopped up some red potatoes into thick wedges and tossed them in some vegetable oil, then I took my homemade taco seasoning and sprinkled it all over the wedges until they were fully coated.
These potato wedges were created to serve with Mexican Taco Burgers. I wanted the traditional French fry for my hamburgers, so I used a Western, wedge cut with taco seasoning. To save time, albeit a small amount, you can use a premixed package of taco seasoning instead of creating your own.
Whether you make these baked potato wedges for a family meal or to serve at a bbq, they’ll be a hit that everyone will love! Maybe somedays you just feel like eating them on their own, serve them with some spicy ketchup for an extra kick!
