Difference Between Potato Fries and Potato Wedges

Fries are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, similar to potato wedges. So it is obvious that most people get confused between fries and potato wedges and whom to choose as a snack.

The most common difference between these two appetizers is the process of making. Fries are not the right option if you are a health-conscious person as it is deep fried in canola oil. On the other half, air-fryer recipes like air fryer potato wedges are baked in a very little amount of extra-virgin olive oil.

Fries are usually cut in stripes but wedges are sliced radially around the potatoes.

Thoroughly rinse and scrub the outer surface of the potato. No need to peel off its outer layer as it adds more crispness to the appetizer.

Cut the potato in half along with its length. Now slice each part of the potato in another half. Repeat the process to get perfect wedges. This process depends on the size of the potato.
