Instructions
Prepare the potatoes:
- Cut each potato in half. Then cut each half in half. Keep doing this until you have 8 potato wedges (or make the wedges as big as you'd like).
- Dissolve the sugar in a large bowl of warm water.
- Place the potatoes in the sugar water and allow them to soak for about 30 minutes (or at least 15 minutes).
- Rinse the potatoes well and dry them.
Bake the potatoes:
- Preheat the oven to 400º Fahrenheit.
- Place the potato wedges in a large bowl.
- Drizzle the oil and sprinkle the seasonings over the top.
- Toss the potatoes in the oil to coat well.
- Place the potato wedges in a single layer (not touchinon a baking sheet. (Line the baking sheet with parchment paper first for easy cleanup and to help the potatoes not stick.
- Bake the potatoes for 20 minutes, then turn the potatoes to brown the other side.
- Cook for an additional 10-20 minutes or until the potatoes are done. The exact timing will depend on how thick the potato wedges are. Watch them closely!
- If you'd like the potatoes a little browner, place them under the broiler on low for 3-5 minutes. Watch them closely as food under the broiler can burn quickly.
Top the potatoes:
- Separate the potatoes into serving sizes or you can keep them all on a big baking sheet.
- Top the potatoes with grilled corn, queso fresco (or cotija cheese), sour cream, hot sauce and fresh cilantro.
- Optional: You can add a squeeze of fresh lime juice if you'd like.
