Wedge fries or tater tots Recipe

American · Side Dish · 45 min total

Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, these homemade wedge fries or tater tots are a delicious twist on classic potato sides. Perfect for snacking or as a side dish.

Ingredients

• 4 large russet potatoes (about 2 lbs)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Optional: 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for tater tots

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Scrub potatoes clean. For wedge fries: cut each potato lengthwise into 8 wedges. For tater tots: peel potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture with a clean kitchen towel.
3. In a large bowl, toss potato wedges or grated potatoes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated. If making tater tots, mix in Parmesan cheese if using.
4. For wedge fries: arrange wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, skin side down. For tater tots: shape grated potato mixture into small cylinders (about 1 inch long) and place on baking sheet.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping wedges or rotating tots halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips

• Soak potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking to remove excess starch for extra crispiness.
• For tater tots, ensure the grated potatoes are as dry as possible to achieve a crispy texture.
• Serve with ketchup, ranch dressing, or aioli.
• Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
