Potatoes make an excellent side dish to almost any entrée
and are extremely versatile because they have a very neutral flavor. With just a splash of oil and a pinch of salt
and pepper, some spices, you can turn the humble potato into delicious homemade
wedges. They’re perfect with anything
from burgers to your favorite grilled chicken and turkey. Give them a try, and you won’t buy the frozen
ones again.
Baked potato wedges are a hot favorite for indulging in
potato cravings. It is an easy way to make a healthier alternative to deep-fried french fries. It’s amazingly quick
and easy to make, yet delicious and filling as a snack or as a side dish. You
can play around with the seasonings.
Yes, seasonings can be adjusted to your own taste preferences or on
whatever seasonings are available in your kitchen.
I’ve posted a recipe of baked potato wedges before which
I used as a base for Ranch potato wedges. The baked wedges were tossed in
Parmesan and parsley and tasted so delish.
This time I wanted to make my wedges a little more spicier, so I
seasoned them with cayenne, paprika, and pepper. This is another recipe that is perfect to serve with grilled meat or burgers. Once tried, they become addictive and you’ll
find yourself making them over and over again.
These potatoes were really good. In my search for the perfect wedges—crispy on
the outside and creamy on the inside—I have found that they do need to be
parboiled first. I cooked them in
microwave about 6-8 minutes before seasoning them, then put into oven for 30-40
minutes to complete the cooking and crisp up the outer edges. This has really
cut down the bake time, which I liked.

1 teaspoon garlic powder
·
2 teaspoons dried parsley
·
½ teaspoon cayenne

are just tender on the outside (alternatively, cook them in rapidly boiling
water for 6-7 minutes). Allow to stand

a large resealable plastic bag, combine the last seven ingredients. Add the potatoes. Seal bag and toss to
