I’m working my way to getting at least one recipe posted in each of my recipe categories, and I can’t think of a better recipe to lead off my side dishes category than Two-Tone Potato Wedges. These potato wedges are similar to french fries, only with more flavor! Crispy russet potatoes and sweet potatoes are perfectly seasoned with sea salt, pepper, garlic and Parmesan cheese. These are delicious served as-is, but your kiddos might also enjoy dipping them in ketchup or barbeque sauce.
I try to incorporate sweet potatoes into our meals at least once or twice a month. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A, beta-carotene, potassium, and more. They are also one of the few veggies that everyone in my family enjoys! Even if you have a family member that doesn’t usually like sweet potatoes, you might win them over with these! If your family loves sweet potatoes, you might consider using two large sweet potatoes and only one Russet instead.
I live in beautiful Idaho, the potato state, which is great since I love potatoes! I have at least 8 potato side dishes that I regularly make and look forward to sharing them all with you here on the blog.
I discovered this recipe in Taste of Home magazine back in 2007. I finally made these for the first time about 2-3 years ago, and they became an instant family favorite. You can view the original recipe at Taste of Home here. I never seem to find “medium” sweet potatoes, so I go with large sweet potatoes and large Russet potatoes in my recipe and have adjusted the seasonings to reflect this. This recipe is gluten-free as is. If you decide to use a seasoning salt instead of the sea salt, make sure you check the ingredients in that as not all seasonings are gluten-free.
Pick up some sweet potatoes and Russet potatoes the next time you are in the store so you can throw together this simple side dish! We enjoy it with hamburgers, hot dogs, steak, and French Dip Sandwiches.

If you need to cook dairy-free, just omit the Parmesan. These will still be delicious!Potato Wedges {Gluten-free}

Nice idea to combine the two tones of potato—looks pretty and tasty!
