What could I serve with these Rustic Potato Wedges?
These Rustic Potato Wedges work really well with pretty much any dish, but we think they’re especially great with the following:
How do you know when Rustic Potato Wedges is cooked?
You should cook your Rustic Potato Wedges for about 30 minutes or until they’re brown and crispy.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
Can you cook these Rustic Potato Wedges any other way?
You can cook these wedges in a pan on the stove or in the microwave before putting them in the oven for around 30 minutes.
You could also cook them in an airfryer instead of the oven if you have one! Just remember the airfryer is usually a little quicker, so check them after 20 minutes.
How long can you keep Rustic Potato Wedges in the fridge?
If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Rustic Potato Wedges in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.
Can I freeze these Rustic Potato Wedges?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen and we advise doing it before the wedges have been cooked in the oven.
If you do freeze this recipe then please remember to do the following;
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
How do I reheat these Rustic Potato Wedges?
From chilled: Place in a microwave proof container with loosely fitting lid and heat for 4-7 minutes until piping hot. Or you can place them on an oven tray with foil loosely placed on top. Place in a preheated oven (200°C) for around 10 minutes, until piping hot.
From frozen (part cooked): Defrost and then cook at 200°C for 30 minutes, or until the wedges are brown and crispy.

Hi, you say there are 239 calories per serving, but it doesn’t say anywhere how many this recipe serves – surely not 3 large potatoes for one serving? Lots of info on here but nonetheless a very confusing page!
HollyFriday 26th February 2021
Hey Rosalind, if you scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page it lists serving size in this case the recipe serves 4. if you are cooking for more or less people use the little arrows by the serving size to reduce up or down, hope that helps!

Hiya, i think you may have made a small mistake when updating these with the new SW changes maybe?
The microwave instructions are exactly the same as the oven ones 🙂
