Potato wedges always make a great choice for a dinner side dish. If you are vegetarian, potatoes can also make for a great entree if served with a healthy salad and side vegetables like roasted broccoli. Serve roasted potatoes with a little sour cream and chives or even a side of Ranch dressing.

What Type of Potatoes to Use in This Recipe?

We use russet potatoes for this recipe because they are a starchy potato. High-starch potatoes makes for the best baking potato. Yukon gold potatoes also would work well too.

Cooking /Baking Potato Tip –

For best results, drain and reserve excess cooking liquid after 45 minutes. Then, place the skillet back in the hot oven for another 5 minutes or until the potatoes are nicely browned and crispy on the edges.

Are Potatoes a Healthy Choice for a Side Dish?

All potatoes contain healthy amounts of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium and manganese and minerals. This makes them a great choice for a dinner side dish.
