Rustic potato wedges are a simple and hearty dish from Belarusian cuisine that evokes cozy village evenings. This aromatic treat emerged from a love for rustic food: natural, filling, and without unnecessary frills. Tender potato wedges fried to a golden crust in hot oil have a crispy surface and a soft, airy center. Rosemary gives them a subtle spicy aroma, while salt enhances the natural sweetness of the potatoes. The dish pairs excellently with homemade sauces—from sour cream to garlic. It can be served as a side with meat or fish or enjoyed as an independent snack. This recipe reminds one of the warmth of home and brings comfort with every bite.
