McDonald's offers Sweet Potato Wedges for limited time
McDonald’s Sweet Potato Wedges are a rare attempt by the company to offer something new in the fries department. For the asking price of $3.95, you get a single serve in a miniature cardboard box with a dipping tub of garlic aioli. Like most of McDonald’s limited-edition menu items, the fancy packaging is arguably more impressive than what’s inside.
Sweet potato fries have an undeserved reputation for being healthier than regular hot chips. In reality, anything deep fried is going to be pretty bad for you. According to McDonald’s nutritional information, a single serve of Sweet Potato Wedges contains 2580kJ. That’s more than double the kilojuele count of a small McDonald’s fries. A medium fries, meanwhile, contains 1540kJ and a large fries contains 1900kJ. So don’t get these if you’re specifically looking for a lighter option.
Sweet potato fries tend to divide people and the McDonald’s version were no exception.
