Potato wedges (or simply wedges) are a variation of the ubiquitous french fry. As its name suggests, they are large, often unpeeled wedge shaped chunks of potato that are either baked or, more commonly, fried. They may be seasoned with salt, pepper and spices prior to frying, to give a crispy 'skin'.Potato wedges are popular snack foods in pubs and bars, typically served with condiments such as sour cream, sweet chilli sauce, brown sauce and tomato sauce. Other condiments that may be eaten with potato wedges include barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, ranch dressing and gravy. Potato wedges may also be served alongside roast meats.In some regions of the United States, potato wedges are known as 'jojos' (or a variant). This term is used particularly in the Pacific Northwest, but also in Ohio, Minnesota, Texas, and other areas.
