I have to admit that these roasted potato wedges taste more like potato skins than a side dish, but how great is that? This recipe doesn’t contain as much cheese as potato skins yet contain so much flavor. They are also naturally gluten free. These potato wedges make great appetizers served plain or with sour cream and as a side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
