Best Potato Wedges

These potato wedges are simple and easy, but the taste is better than any potato wedges I have picked up in the deli at the supermarket.  They have a light crisp to them with a savory blend of spices and light flour coating.  Give these a try with your next steak or burger.

Best Potato Wedges

3 medium potatoes peeled (or not, up to you) and cut into thin wide strips
1 cup flour
1 tsp. Seasoned Salt
1 Tbsp. black pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Italian Seasonings
2 Tbsp. real butter
Cooking Spray

Bring 1 quart of water to a boil and add potato wedges.  Boil for ONLY 3 minutes.  Just enough time for them to start getting tender, but not done.  Remove immediately and drain.  Lay the potatoes out on a sheet and spray both sides with cooking spray.

In a paper bag or plastic baggie, add flour, seasoned salt, garlic powder, Italian Seasonings and pepper.  Shake well to mix.  Place a few of the potatoes at a time in the bag and shake gently to cover them completely in the flour mixture.  You can also use a bowl to coat them if you prefer, the bag just seems to get the job done quicker.  Remove and place on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray.

Once all wedges are coated and on the baking sheet, put in a 375 degree oven for 15 minutes.  Remove and turn the wedges gently over.  Continue to bake for another 15 minutes until they are browning on top.  Remove from oven and pour 2 Tbsp. melted real butter over the potatoes and gently toss with a spatula to coat.  Adding the butter at the end keeps them from being dry and adds a fantastic flavor. 

Hint:  If I need these done quickly for dinner, I put my oven on low broil and broil the potatoes.  It works just as well, but watch them closely so they don't burn.  It reduces the time by at least 10 minutes.  Let me know what you think of these Potato Wedges.  Enjoy!
