Make Delicious Potato Wedges

Sprinkle cheese over homemade potato wedges.


Skip the fatty french fries and boring baked potatoes. Homemade seasoned potato wedges are a great compromise for a delicious side dish or snack. Get creative with dips or toppings to make these potatoes even better. Try salsa or sprinkle with cheese and bacon. These wedges are baked in olive oil and ready in less than hour.


Instructions


1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Wash 3 or 4 large potatoes under running water.


2. Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise. Lay them flat and continue slicing lengthwise into wedges.


3. Coat a baking sheet lightly with olive oil. Arrange the wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer and spritz or drizzle with olive oil.








4. Sprinkle both sides of the potato wedges generously with seasoned salt.


5. Bake about 30 minutes or until golden brown. Halfway through the cooking time, flip the potato wedges over so they cook evenly. Sprinkle with grated cheese, if desired, and serve hot.
