Potato wedges are a simple yet incredibly delicious dish of Russian cuisine that has won the love of many generations. Tender inside and crispy outside, they create a perfect balance of textures. Baked in the oven with olive oil and aromatic spices, these wedges soak up rich flavors and appetizing aromas. They are served with a sauce based on sour cream and mayonnaise, with garlic and seasonings added, making the dish even more flavorful. The history of this dish goes back to traditional ways of preparing potatoes, which have been and remain one of the main staples in Russian cuisine. Potato wedges are suitable as a side dish or a standalone treat, and their versatility makes them ideal for family dinners and friendly gatherings.
