Nuttin' In the House (Garlic Chili Potato Wedges)



Here’s a quick one for when you have almost nothing around the house, yet folks are hungry.  Potatoes always fill the belly.  The garlic and chili powder will make sure that there are no leftovers.  Preheat the oven to 375°F and go for it.

Garlic Chili Potato Wedges

1# white potatoes, washed, cut into wedges
3 tbs. olive oil
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. salt
and a couple of grinds of black pepper

In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients.  Mix to evenly coat the potato wedges.  Turn the seasoned potatoes out onto a baking sheet.  Arrange the wedges so that they do not touch.

Bake for 15 minutes.  With a metal spatula, turn the wedges, so that they brown on the other side.  Bake for an additional 15 minutes.  After 30 minutes in the oven, the potato wedges will be evenly browned and crispy.  Serve immediately. 


On the off chance that there are any leftovers, Garlic Chili Potatoes are great for breakfast, chopped up and sautéed with onions and green peppers.  Fry an egg  or two and drop 'em on top.
