Garlic Potato Wedges

Garlic Potato Wedges        

       

  

 Ingredients

 4 large Idaho potatoes 

 1/4 cup olive oil 

 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped 

                                   Salt and freshly black pepper                                    

 Directions

  

 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and lightly 

grease a rimmed baking sheet.

 2. Cut each potato lengthwise into 8-12 wedges, 

about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick. 

 3. Put the olive oil in a small microwavable bowl and 

add the garlic. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 minutes, 

until the oil is heated and the garlic is turning a little 

golden color. Strain out and discard the garlic.

 4. Toss the potato wedges in the garlic oil. Spread 

evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer and sprinkle 

generously with salt and pepper.

 5. Bake 15 minutes, then turn each wedge with a spatula, 

and cook another 10 minutes, until each potato wedge is 

golden and tender.
