Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb russet potatoes
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp seasoning of choice see notes for our ideas!
  • ½ tsp salt optional

Instructions
 

  • PREPARE YOUR TATERS: If you can, try to choose similar size potatoes. Wash and scrub your potatoes well, leaving the skins on. Cut each potato in half longways, then cut into wedges by cutting each half in thirds (or fourths if it’s a particularly large potato). You want to cut the potatoes as evenly as possible, so they will all cook evenly.
  • SEASON THE WEDGES: Place these wedges in a large bowl. Drizzle them with the olive oil and toss/swirl the potatoes in the bowl until they are all coated in oil. Then, sprinkle the seasoning and salt over the oiled wedges and repeat the toss/swirling motion until each wedge is nice and coated.
  • COOK THE WEDGES: Heat your cast iron skillet over medium high heat until the surface is hot. I like to use the “sprinkle test” here. When you sprinkle a bit of water on the pan and it sizzles, the pan is hot enough to begin! Do this carefully and with the TINIEST amount of water though. Lay your wedges down in a “circular pattern” to fit the most in the pan. Make sure the largest wedges are towards the center of the pan. Cover and cook these wedges for 6-7 minutes. Then, flip them and cook, covered, for another 6-7 minutes. The insides should be fork-soft. The outsides should have a nice crispness and caramelization
  • TO SERVE: After they’re done cooking, I like to turn off the heat and flip these on their skin-side and cover again to keep warm. Alternately, you could also keep these in a warm oven (200F or “warm”) until the rest of your dinner is ready. Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be reheated in the oven until warmed through.

Notes

Seasoning Ideas:
Potato Wedges with Red Robin Seasoning: We love using our Copycat Red Robin Seasoning on these cast iron potato wedges when we’re serving them with our vegan bacon cheeseburgers, carrot dogs, or Beyond Meat burgers/sausages off the grill!
For Chili-Spiced Potato Wedges: Our homemade chili seasoning adds such a kickass flavor to these cast iron potato wedges! If you go this route, might I also suggest smothering these wedges in a pile of vegan chili and cheese sauce?! It’s a whole mood, and I’m here for it.
For Parmesan Potato Wedges: Use your favorite store-bought vegan parm OR our Cheesy Garlic Butter Blend to season. You can even throw some minced rosemary in there for a nice herby vibe.
For Taco Seasoned Potato Wedges: Taco seasoning packet, meet potato wedges, meet spicy queso dip. Or pile them high in some kind of nacho situation smothered in walnut beef and vegan queso (and I guess some vegetables...if there’s time). Hell yes.
