Foodie Friday! - Potato Wedges

I recently blogged about the wonderful Cheez-It chicken recipe and that we had it with potato wedges. So today I am sharing the Potato Wedge recipe I use.  Like the chicken, these are easy to make and require pretty much the same dipping process, just with different ingredients.  

My husband loves potato wedges so I really should make them more often than I do.  They are pretty much the ultimate side for about any meat entree.  

Potato Wedges

1/3 cup flour

1/3 cup Parmesan cheese

1 tsp paprika

3 large potatoes, wedged

1/3 cup milk

1/4 cup melted margarine

Combine the flour, Parmesan cheese and paprika.  Blend well.

Wash and wedge 3 large potatoes with the skins on. Place 1/3 cup of milk in a bowl.  Line up your ingredients - milk, flour mixture, baking pan, and melted butter.

Dip potatoes in milk, followed by rolling the wedges in the flour mixture to coat well.  Place coated wedges in greased 15 x 10 pan.  Drizzle with 1/4 cup melted margarine.  

They are now oven ready.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn, drizzle with more melted butter, and bake another 20 minutes.

That's a bit of golden potato goodness right there!

Here's what I did differently:

I didn't grease the pan and used a glass baking dish.

I set the wedges in the pan skin side down so both cut sides were up.  I did not turn or add a second drizzle of margarine.  I used the 1/4 cup of margarine the first time around.  

I sprinkled with pepper after drizzling the butter over them...because I absolutely love pepper!  

I baked these with the Cheez-It Chicken at 375 degrees for 40 minutes and they were perfect, so if you are baking with something else the time and temperature are a bit flexible, just test with a fork to make sure they are tender before removing from the oven.  

The 3 large potatoes go a longggggg way. I usually use 2 large potatoes for us and still have some left over.  

FYI:  I have made the Cheez-It chicken again with regular Cheez-Its.  I definitely like it better made with the CoJack Cheez-Its.  It gave them a bit more zip.

Some things just go together like Cheez-It chicken and potato wedges.

And me and Fridays.

Happy Friday!
