I love french fries, jo jo potatoes, potato wedges, however you want to cook them. With my IBS I can’t have anything fried and I’ve gone on the search for many other ways to prepare potatoes to make them more like french fries. I’m an absolute sucker for these potatoes. I don’t have to make a choice of which potato I want. lol Sadly, I am also lactose intolerant (severely), so I leave the cheese off of my portion. But the family loves the Parmesan added.
Ingredients:
2 white potatoes cut into wedges
2 sweet potatoes cut into wedges
1 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Directions:
1. Soak potato wedges in cold water for about an hour. Let air dry or pat dry with a towel.
2. Place the potato wedges into a large bowl. Add the oil, pepper and cheese.
3. Use your hands and toss all ingredients together. Trying to coat the potatoes as much as possible.
4. Heat oven to 425 degrees.
5. Spray an edged cookie sheet with a non stick cooking spray. Place the potato wedges in a single layer on the sheet. Sprinkle the garlic over the wedges.
6. Bake 25 minutes. Turn the potatoes and continue baking 15 minutes more or until a nice golden brown and the inside is fork tender.
