Crispy wedges delicious toppings, like tomato, bell pepper, green onion, cheese and guacamole. Sounds yummy, right? These loaded potato wedges are sure to disappear fast! Perfect for a relaxing weekend at home, or for that game day celebration.

Hi friends!
Remember those crispy potato wedges I shared a while back?
Well, today I’m using those (less the Parmesan) to make an amped up wedge recipe!
These loaded potato wedges are seriously easy to whip up and SO unbelievably delicious.
They’re kinda like nacho wedges because of all the yummy flavours, like guacamole, cilantro and hot peppers. The idea here, though, is to use what you have on hand!
If you have potatoes, you can likely make these with whatever else you have in your fridge and, if you know me, you know I have to have cheesy potato wedges because I love cheese.
After your crispy potato wedges are all golden brown and delicious, you can start prepping everything else (after, of course, you enjoy a few wedges straight off the pan).

Assembling Loaded Wedges
Once you’ve made the wedges, place them in a skillet (for a fun presentation) or serving dish.
Then it’s just a matter of piling on all those garnishes!
If you like, you can have layers of potato wedges, then toppings, followed by more wedges and toppings. There’s no going wrong here!

Can I Use Frozen Store-Bought Potato Wedges Instead?
In a time crunch (or if you just simply want to), you can totally use store-bought wedges instead of homemade! Just cook them per the package instructions.
Ain’t no shame in the frozen wedge game. Is that what the cool kids say nowadays, LOL?
Tip: Don’t have frozen wedges on hand? No worries! Make loaded fries! It’ll still have all the taste while using what you have on hand.

Yummy Garnish Ideas
The possibilities are endless here, my friends.
A handful of ingredients were used for these loaded wedges, but any of these toppings would be tasty. Mix things up to keep it interesting!
- Diced bell pepper
- Diced tomato
- Chopped cilantro
- Sliced green onion or chives
- Chopped red onion or pickled red onion
- Sliced pickle banana peppers
- Jalapeno peppers (sliced fresh or pickled)
- Shredded cheese
- Guacamole or diced/cubed avocado
- Sour cream
- Salsa
- Crumbled feta or queso fresco
- Your favourite melted processed cheese (with some milk to thin out, if necessary) or homemade or store-bought queso
- Drizzle of your favourite hot sauce
- Squeeze of fresh lime
- Chili (for chili wedges)
- Cooked shredded pork, beef or chicken
- Cooked meat crumbles or soy-based crumble (like the stuff I used in these sloppy joe sliders)

Tips and Variations
- There is no right or wrong here when it comes to toppings for these loaded wedges. Like more or less of an ingredient? Just adjust to taste!
- Don’t want to use a cheese sauce (or simply don’t have on hand)? Once you place the cooked wedges in the pan, sprinkle over some shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese and pop in the oven until it’s melted. Then garnish with everything else.
- Instead of the seasonings listed in the crispy potato wedge recipe (salt, pepper, garlic powder and cayenne pepper), try my homemade taco seasoning on the wedges instead.
