Oven Baked Potato Wedges

We got a 50 lb bag of potatoes and have been barreling through it. I try to find new uses for them, mostly for Jacob's sake.  I thought these would be a step up from our normal baked french fries.

Oven-baked Potato Wedges






Ingredients:
2 T canola oil
1 c flour
1 t garlic powder
1 t salt
1 t black pepper
1/2 t celery salt
1/2 t seasoning salt
2 large eggs, beaten
4 medium potatoes, scrubbed and rinsed, but not peeled
canola cooking spray

Instructions:
1. Heat oven to 450 degrees.  Coat a baking sheet with a tablespoon of canola oil.
2. With a fork or whisk, mix the flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, celery salt and seasoning salt in a shallow dish and set aside.  Add the beaten eggs in a small bowl.
3. Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch thick wedges.  Dip each wedge into the beaten eggs, then the flour mixture, making sure it is well coated.  Place the coated wedges on the prepared baking sheet and let them sit 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Coat the tops of the potato wedges generously with canola cooking spray.  Bale in the center of the oven until golden brown (15 to 18 minutes), flipping after ten minutes.  Serves 5.


These were not the best.  We thought the flour mixture put too much flour taste on the wedges.  The egg didn't do that great of a job mixing with the flour for a pleasurable result.  We won't eat these again.

  1. We, too, have been barreling through our potatoes hence my most recent recipe. Ours is almost gone thanks to Meghan's blessing and the meal we had after: baked potato bar :)
