Loaded Mexican Potato Wedges Recipes

LOADED MEXICAN POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

• Prepare the salsa by mixing all of the ingredients in a bowl and set aside
• Prepare the guacamole by mashing the avocados with the other guacamole ingredients and set aside
• To make the black beans, add a tsp of oil to a heated frying pan and fry the garlic until starting to turn golden
• Add to the pan the rest of the black bean ingredients and mash with the back of the spoon to break down the beans. Fry for 5 - 8 minutes until it starts to come together and add 2 - 3 tbsp of water to loosen as needed (as you'll find the cooking process dries out the mixture)
