Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes (cut into wedges)
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
- few shakes salt
- liberal use of freshly ground pepper corn
- few shakes garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven at 375 degrees fahrenheit.
- On a baking sheet, (feel to free to use aluminum foil, it will help with clean-up and placing into bowl) spread the oil (I used a spoon). Sprinkle the salt, pepper and garlic powder on the oiled surface.
- Evenly distribute the potato wedges across the baking sheet. Place in oven. After 25 minutes, flip the wedges, and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Place into bowl and serve!
Alternatively, to reduce cook time
- Follow step 1 from above, but while preheating place the wedges in the microwave for about 4 minutes, then stir, then another 4 minutes.
- Follow step 2 and 3, but instead cook for 10 minutes, then flip. Then bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- Follow step 4, it’s an important one!
Closing
This is a really simple recipe. I had a bowl of little potatoes that I was able to cut into quartered wedges. You could use larger potatoes, just cut into more wedges from a given potato.
This is definitely another one of those I will be baking again. The seasoning is just so flavourful that I did not even need to use any additional condiments!
Use this as a side for a plethora of dishes. For this first time I had on the side with seasoned beans (pepper with a little garlic powder) and Lemon Brussels Sprouts and Carrots.
Edit - 2018.09.16 Added an alternative steps, also added, “Cottage Fries,” images. The family restaurant when I was a kid, served Cottage Fries instead of “French Fries.” You just need the right tool to slice them, which ia a ridged blade. They turned out beautifully!
