Baked Potato Wedges


"These are the best fries ever!" quoted by Nick's nephew.  They definitely are, crispy and crunchy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, they are a hit with adults and children alike.  The best part is....they couldn't be simpler! 

BAKED POTATO WEDGES

These are a quick and easy french fry substitute, and they taste great!

INGREDIENTS: 
- Russet Potatoes (1/2 to 1 potato per person)

HOW TO MAKE IT: 
- Pre-Heat oven to 425F
- Cover a baking sheet generously in oil
- Cut potatoes into quarters (Be sure to wash them throughly first!).
- Roll potatoes in oil until well covered on all sides.
- Stand potatoes on the skin side, on the baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 40min, turning 3 or 4 times, so that each side gets at least 10min touching the pan and in the leftover oil.
- Serve right out of the oven!
