Spicy Potato Wedges



From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite....This is another recipe that is perfect to make when you have young cooks assisting you. The potato wedges are really easy to make and they are a delicious and healthy alternative to French fries. With just a splash of oil, some spices and the help of a hot oven, the humble potato becomes a real treat that is perfect to serve with hamburgers or other grilled meat. Once tried, they become addictive and you'll find yourself making them over and over again. You might want to substitute the mix that coats the potatoes with one of your choosing. I like to bake these until they are crispy and a wedge held between two fingers can be held without bending. The baking time in the recipe below should be viewed as a suggestion rather than fiat. I like to serve these with aioli but my young cooks prefer salsa for dipping. I think you'll like these. I know the kids will love them. Here's the recipe.

Spicy Potato Wedges...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite

Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3-1/2 pounds large red potatoes, cut into wedges


Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray 2 large baking sheets with nonstick spray.
2) Combine vegetable oil, chili powder, onion powder, garlic salt, sugar, paprika, salt and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Add potatoes and toss to coat.
3) Arrange in a single layer on sprayed baking sheets. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until potatoes are tender crusty and golden brown, turning once. Yield: 8servings.

    One thing we saw on "America's Test Kitchen" is that they heated the pans while the oven was coming up to temp. We love baked potatoes of this sort.

    I love potato wedges! I change up the seasoning according to what I have and what I'm serving. I like them with chicken or barbecue pork sandwiches the best though.

    Let's see ... a pound of potatoes for under a dollar, or a bag of frozen french fries for $3-4. Easy choice! Cheers!

    Mary, thank you so much for sharing this recipes. I was just looking around for one, as I happen to have a glut of potatoes that need using up.

    Do you think this recipe would work with sweet potatoes? I can imagine the flavours would be delicious.

    I've always wondered why more people don't make their own as they usually cook up in about the same time as the frozen kinds plus they are much better.
