I love potatoes.
LOVE THEM!
I grew up eating them twice baked, mashed, fried, hashed, roasted, chopped, seasoned, baked, twirled and pretty much any other way you can think up to prepare them.
I have a firm belief that the perfect baked potato exists – crispy skin, fluffy, hot, slightly soft insides.
The perfect french fry has a crisp salty skin and a fluffy inside.
Mashed potatoes and twice baked potatoes, oh y’all… I could write sonnets about both, but I won’t.
Because y’all aren’t here for potato sonnets, y’all are here for incredibly easy, deliciously wonderful, crispy, seasoned, mouth-watering oven roasted potato wedges.
This recipe for Oven Roasted Potato Wedges is one of the simplest ways to make potatoes and it can be served as a side dish or an appetizer.

I love roasted potatoes! I haven’t tried adding cinnamon – I’ll have to try that. I also like to throw in a couple of tablespoons of vinegar (white basalmic) for a little zing.

LOVE Balsamic vinegar! Cinnamon just adds a hint of a sweet smokiness and is nommy! I always add cinnamon and chocolate to my Chili, too.
I can’t wait to try them!!!!!!!
Oh yummy!!!!!!!!!

We’ve got a bag of potatoes sitting on the counter..this is soo getting made tonight!
.-= Krystyn´s last blog ..Ready to roll =-.
YAY! Let me know how y’all like them 😉 Try to make sure that all the chunks are roughly the same size or they won’t cook evenly. You may have to cook them longer, it’s an oven thing 😉 LOL.
but, broiling them at the end for just a couple of minutes adds that yummy CRISP that you get in restaurants 😉 nom nom.
Okay…it didn’t let me know that you commented on my comment, but I was already coming back.
Holy moly…2T of pepper…our mouths were on fire and we aren’t woosy! And, I didn’t even put the cayenne pepper on it! Izzy said “these are too spicy for me!”
I think next time, I might do a dash of pepper. But, they were good!
And, I did have to cook them longer:)

I have been on a no-sugar diet in an attempt to alleviate my headaches, so those look especially delicious to me and my carb-craving body!
Oh honey… I hope it’s worth it. 😉 Really, I hope it works. I SHOULD cut out carbs and sugar but, I’m not that strong. xoxo
Cinnamon and Cumin! MMMMM! I just did a dry rub for 3 racks of ribs this weekend that featured both pretty prominently and wow was it good. I can only imagine the ‘gasmic factor on these babies!!
