Potato wedges, retail, cooked

Potato wedges are pieces of potato cut into thick wedges. These figures describe retail frozen potato wedges after cooking. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some fat and fibre. Per 100g, they contain 31g of carbohydrate, 5.5g of fat, 2.5g of saturated fat and 4.3g of fibre.

Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while fibre supports normal bowel function. The fat, saturated fat and salt content are worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Values can vary between products and according to the cooking method, so packet information may differ from these figures. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
