How to Cut Potato Wedges

Step 1

Place the potato on its side and using a large chef’s knife, slice it in half lengthwise.

Step 2

Place the cut side of the potato down onto the cutting board, and cut it in half again to create quarters.

Step 3

Place each potato quarter cut side up, then slice down the center of the quarter to create a wedge. This makes for 8 wedges per potato.
