I love a good shortcut, and these potato wedges are one of those recipes I lean on when I'm tired, hungry, and honestly not in the mood to "actually cook." You're basically taking frozen wedges, crisping them in the oven, and whisking together the easiest dipping sauce ever.
My family goes through these so fast I barely get a chance to sit down. And honestly, that's how I know a recipe is a keeper.
Why I Make These All the Time
They're fast
Five minutes of prep. The oven does the rest.
They're budget-friendly
Three ingredients I always have on hand.
Everyone loves them
Kids, adults, guests. They disappear every single time.
They work for everything
Movie nights, game days, after-school snacks, or "I forgot to plan dinner."
What You Need
Just three simple ingredients. That's it.
- Frozen potato wedges
- Light sour cream
- Sweet chili sauce
Ingredient amounts are provided in the recipe card below.
How I Make Them
Honestly, it doesn't get easier than this.
- Preheat the oven to 220C or 200C fan.
- Spread the wedges out in a single layer across two trays.

- Bake according to the package directions until golden and crisp.


- Stir the sour cream and sweet chili sauce together.

- Serve the wedges hot with the dip on the side.

I always double the dip because someone in my house refuses to share.
My Best Tips
Don't crowd the trays
Space equals crispiness.
Flip halfway
Both sides need that heat.
Pair with extra dips
Ranch, garlic aioli, barbecue sauce. No wrong answers here.
Variations I Love
- Add a squeeze of lime to the dip
- Stir in fresh chives or green onions
- Use hot chili sauce if you like things spicy
- Serve with shredded cheese sprinkled over the hot wedges
Quick FAQ
Can I use regular potatoes instead
You can, but frozen wedges are faster and crisp better with zero effort.
Can I make the dip ahead of time
Yes. Chill it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Are these good for parties
They're perfect. Put out a big tray and watch them disappear.
