Jack in the Box’s Potato Wedges are back!
(Sigh)
But only for a limited time and in the form of Classic and Spicy Sauced & Loaded Potato Wedges. The Classic version features my beloved potato wedges topped with shredded cheddar cheese, cheddar cheese sauce, ranch, and bacon crumbles, and the Spicy one also includes Spicy Good Good Sauce and jalapeños.
I tried to see if I could order my precious potato wedges without any toppings via the app and checked to see if I could swap the regular fries with them, but there was no option to get them naked. Look, I should be ecstatic about once again being able to stuff my mouth with these spud slices, and I am, but I really wish I could get them without all the other stuff. Or even better, I wish they were permanent again.
Am I sensitive about losing these potato wedges? Oh, heck yeah! I created an entirely new type of post on this site just so I could sing their praises. But then, a few months later, they were discontinued. Since then, I sometimes think to myself, “Maybe if I didn’t write that, they might still be on the menu.” I’m sorry, Jack in the Box Potato Wedges lovers. It’s all my fault.
Anyhoo, I picked up the Classic Sauced & Loaded Potato Wedges, and not surprisingly, I loved them. I even scraped off the cheeses, sauce, and bacon from a few of them just so I could experience again what I lost and what Jack in the Box won’t give me.
It tastes similar to the Bacon Cheddar Wedges that Jack used to sell. The ranch sauce provides some additional flavor on top of the other toppings, but it’s mostly a bacon and cheese show. And that’s perfectly fine because it still means I get to stuff my face with Jack in the Box’s Potato Wedges, which I thought were gone forever.
Seriously, Jack. Make your potato wedges permanent again.
