Pap Potatoes And Cornmeal Recipes

CRISPY CORNMEAL POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Peel potatoes and cut in half lengthwise; cut each half into wedges. Toss wedges in a bowl with oil.
• In a shallow bowl mix cornmeal, garlic powder and pepper; mix with hand to combine.
• Place 3-4 wedges in cornmeal mix and lightly coat and place on a baking sheet. Continue till all wedges are done. Cook 25-30 minutes giving the wedges a bit of a turn half way through.
• I enjoyed eating these dipped in a good beef gravy -- you can use ketchup or whatever!
