Old Bay Potato Wedges Recipes

OLD BAY POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut your potatoes into 6 wedges each following these steps. Cut your potato length wise in half. Take one half and lay it flat side down on your cutting board. Cut about 1/3 of the way in from the outside, angling toward the center. So as you cut, you are cutting on a bias. Do another cut about 1/3 of the way from the other side, angling toward the center again. Repeat those 2 cuts with the other half.
• Toss the potatoes in a bowl with the avocado oil, old bay seasoning, sea salt and pepper.
• Spread the potatoes evening on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the potatoes half way through. You want them to have a golden brown color, while easily piercing with a fork.

OLD BAY POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• To make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together ketchup, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and Old Bay seasoning. Set aside.
• To make the potatoes: Place potato in a large bowl and rinse with water. Remove all water from bowl and add in oil, Old Bay seasoning, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
• Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate. Place potatoes on cool side of grill, cover, and let cook until a paring knife can be inserted into middle of wedge with no resistance, 30-40 minutes. Move potatoes to hot side of grill and cook until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes per side.
• Transfer potatoes to a serving platter and season with additional salt to taste. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.

OLD BAY OVEN POTATOES

Steps:

• Clean potatoes well and remove any bruised or pitted sections. Don't remove skin.
• Slice potatoes in half, then in thirds to create wedges.
• Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water for at least a half hour and up to two hours. This helps eliminate some of the starch. NOTE: You can skip this step if time is an issue, but they always come out better for me when I soak them for awhile.
• Preheat oven 475°F.
• Place wedges on ungreased cookie sheet with skin side down.
• Sprinkle on salt, Old Bay seasoning, and top with chopped fresh dill (if using).
• Flip potatoes over onto one side.
• Bake potatoes 30-45 minutes at 475F or until golden and bubbly on outside, tender on inside. (Flip onto other side after 15-20 minutes of cooking.).
• Note: Be sure that potatoes are brown and crispy before removing from oven. I've found that it's hard to overcook these, but easy to undercook.
• Topping suggestions: ketchup, dijon mustard, ranch dressing, sour cream, barbeque sauce, or honey-mustard. (You can add extra salt if that's what you like).
• Enjoy these as you would french fries without all the grease and sodium!
