It is almost Super Bowl weekend! That means snacks – lots of snacks. It also means we will need a snack that can be easily and neatly munched on in front of the big screen without taking our eyes off the action. We have made these Game Day Savoury Potato Wedges for just about every occasion from birthdays to barbeques. Our favourite way to enjoy them is on a large wooden platter served family style with Dressed Up Sour Cream and of course, ketchup.

- 4 large russet or yellow flesh potatoes (2 lbs.)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
METHOD:
- Preheat the oven to 425oF (400oF convection).
- For the seasoning mix: In a medium bowl, combine all of the seasoning mix ingredients together and mix well. Place the seasoning mix in a tightly covered container (you will use 2 tablespoons of seasoning mix for each batch of four potatoes).
- For the Game Day Savoury Potato Wedges: Scrub the potatoes well (do not peel). Dry the potatoes with a paper towel.
- Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Cut each half into four wedges lengthwise. Repeat with the other potato half (eight wedges per potato). Place the wedges in a large bowl. Do the same with the remaining potatoes.
- Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil and 2 tablespoons (20 g) of the Seasoning Mix to the potatoes.
- Toss the potatoes well in the oil and seasoning mix.
- Place the potato wedges on a parchment lined baking sheet upright (peeling side down), as shown in the photograph.

Your seasoning mix looks great! I like the way you’ve photographed it, too. Isn’t it great how many uses there can be for a blend of seasonings once you’ve mixed it up! Thank you for a great gluten free snack recipe!
Thanks so much, Cathy! It is a very versatile seasoning blend that can be used for so many things. And gluten-free, too! 🙂
OOO! I love potato wedges! And so Does my daughter! It seems to be the only way she’ll eat potato! I can definitely see these being on my appetizer hit list!
I love them too, Markus. I can’t wait to hear how the little one likes them. Make sure to make the Dressed Up Sour Cream with them – it is a must! https://urbnspice.com/my-recipes/dressed-up-sour-cream/ Thanks so much for your comments.
Those look so delicious! I always buy potato wedges from the grocery store when I’m in a hurry, but never thought to make them. I can imagine just how much more healthy and delicious they’d be!
Thanks so much, Terri! If you trying making these at home, I believe you will never buy them again in the grocery store. And, no preservatives – just flavour 🙂 Let me know if you try them – I can’t wait to hear how you enjoy them.
Yum! Great addition to the Superbowl Party menu for sure! I like your chef tip about not flipping them – I find this is a good method too!
Thank you for your comment, Leslie-Anne. It is a good technique not to flip them, isn’t it? Let the oven do all the work for you. I like roasting them until they get that little char on the edges, too. Make sure you try the “Dressed Up Sour Cream” – it is a must! Cheers and happy weekend 🙂
Hi Denise! I’ll be awesome, I’m not much of a sports fan. Super Bowl…is that like an extra big bowl of chips or something? 😀
Okay, fine. I’m not *that* clueless…but what I look forward to most is all the delicious game day recipes that come out around this time of year. Potato wedges are a delicious classic!
I agree with you, Riz. I am more of a fan of feeding the sports crowd than I am of sitting and watching the game. #Ilovefeedingpeople I hope you get to try these wedge potatoes for some type of gathering – it will be a hit, especially with the Dressed Up Sour Cream. Cheers! Happy weekend. 🙂
