Potato wedges are an excellent substitute for
french fries. They make a delicious side to most
dinners or lunches and you can serve leftovers as a
quick snack. Unfortunately, if you drench potato
wedges in oil or salt, they're no healthier than
junk food. Making them healthful isn't difficult,
and they require less preparation time than their
greasy fried counterparts.
Ingredients:
• Any combination of Russet, Red or Sweet potatoes
• Fresh citris juice (lemon/lime/grapefruit/orange)
• Healthful Seasonings (such as ground black pep­
per, crushed red peppers, paprika, lemon pepper,
ground cloves, parsley, cilantro, basil, rosemary,
Minced garlic, onions and shallots)-be creative! But
don't include salt to keep it healthy.
Process:
1. Scrub potatoes thoroughly (and peel if desired).

and slice them into thirds.
3. Soaking the wedges in warm water for a few hours
to extract some of their starch to the improve baking
process. Dry them afterwards.
4. Toss the potatoes with enough citris juice to coat
them thoroughly.
5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
6. Place wedges peel side down on a cookie sheet.
7. Sprinkle on desired seasonings to your preferred
taste (a visible light coating is usually plenty).
8. Put cookie sheet with wedges in oven and bake for
40 to 70 minutes. Flip the potatoes and stir them around
at least oncen (up to four times) during the baking
process, checking frequently to prevent burning.
9. Remove the wedges from the oven when they are
crisp, lightly browned and have fluffy interiors.
10. Serve on a plate as is; or serve with a side of a light
dressing for dipping.
