Baked Potato Wedges
Description
This recipe transforms leftover, refrigerated baked potatoes into oven-baked potato wedges. The potatoes are halved and then cut into six wedges each to ensure even baking size. The wedges are coated with grapeseed oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for flavor. They are spread out on a lined baking sheet and baked at 400°F for about 20 minutes, turning once to promote even browning. This produces wedges with crisp edges and tender centers. The recipe notes suggest alternative seasonings like Cajun or rosemary for variety and recommend cutting the potatoes cold to prevent them from falling apart. A serrated knife is preferred for cutting to maintain the wedge shape better.
Ingredients
- 4 potato cut into wedges, cooked, baked
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cut leftover, cooked baked potatoes in half, then cut each half into 3 wedges. Each baked potatoes should yield 6 large wedges.
- Place the wedges in a bowl and combine with oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Carefully toss, then place in one row on a parchment or aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute Italian seasoning with other spices such as Cajun seasoning, seasoned salt, or a mix of dried rosemary, coarse salt, and truffle seasoning.
- Use cold leftover baked potatoes that have been refrigerated for at least one night to ensure wedges hold their shape during cutting and baking.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking and crispness.
- A serrated knife is recommended to make clean cuts that help secure a crisp edge on the wedges.
