Aussie Grown

Made with Australian Grown Sweet Potatoes. Sourced from Bundaberg, Queensland and packed in Tassie. Our premium Bundaberg sweet potato strikes the perfect balance of sweet and savory, with a soft interior and vibrant orange color. Grown in ideal volcanic soil and a year-round climate, Bundaberg produces the best variety. The region’s temperate weather conditions, long daylight hours, and lower rainfall providing the perfect conditions for growing 52 weeks of the year. We are proud to work with Aussie farmers like Peter Greensill, a third-generation sweet potato farmer. It takes between six to nine months to grow a sweet potato, with the plants raised from seed in Peter’s on-farm nursery before the runners are transplanted to the fields. Planting is done to order, in a bid to minimise waste, and the underground crop is harvested by machine, with the plants lifted onto a mesh-like belt that shakes off much of the soil before the potatoes reach a field bin. Peter’s farm has a strong focus on improving soil carbon and soil health.

‘About five years ago, we built our own green waste facility, so we take in about 40,000 tonnes of green waste, we munch all that up and create compost out of it,’ Peter says.

Recipe Inspiration

Why crinkle cut? For ultimate crunch! The ridges increase surface area, letting our world-class batter settle into the "valleys" for superior texture. This also means superior hold. Our premium batter, crinkle ridges, and thicker wedge design ensure impressive crunch and heat retention, elevating your snacking experience. This batter not only delivers superior crunch and hold but provides a delicious & subtle savoury note perfect on its own or with your own seasonings or toppings.

The wedges serve as an impressive side to a main meal that allows you to command a price premium on your menu. Pairing well with Aussie classics like steak, burgers and parmas, plus even Mexican options like Tacos and Enchiladas. The option is also popular with Asian audiences, as the vegetable is popular in Japan.

Also ideal as a snack, they can create a delicious value-add of loaded wedges, delicious with Mexican-style guacamole, salsa and sour cream or Greek- style with feta and rosemary. For the more adventurous diners, we suggest them as a dessert option – churro style with cinnamon and maple syrup and dark chocolate dipping sauce or strawberries.

Whether you're serving diners in Sydney, plating up in Melbourne, or wowing customers in Brisbane, these wedges are sure to be a hit. Edgell Sweet Potato Wedges are not just a great option for a second chip on your menu, they can shine as the hero of your menu due to them being a delicious blend of quality Australian sweet potatoes, world class crunch, great flavour and a soft interior.
