Baked Potato Wedges

I am linking this post to Kathy's Food Wednesdays.

I had a ten pound bag of all purpose potatoes simply because they were on sale for $1.47.  I decided to bake some potato wedges with some of them.

We have been ordering pizza from Papa John's a chain that recently opened up nearby.  They include a free dipping sauce (also pictured in the photo above) with each pizza but son K doesn't like this dip and they don't substitute other flavours although it is included with the pizza.  Rather than throw them out, I googled a copycat Papa John's garlic sauce recipe to see what the ingredients were.  It is margarine, garlic powder and salt.  I decided to add a packet to flavour these potato wedges. It is maybe a 1/4c of margarine.

Cut 3 med-large potatoes in half lengthways, then in half lengthways again to make quarters, and then cut each half in half lengthways on the diagonal to make two wedges (you’ll end up with 8 wedges per potato; make sure they are about the same thickness and size).

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, season the potatoes with onion powder, oregano and or parsley, paprika, a packet of garlic sauce (or margarine, garlic powder, salt), and black pepper.  You can use olive oil in place of the margarine, maybe a 1/4c.

Bake at 425F for 25-30 minutes.

(I have also used the Papa John sauce to make garlicky scrambled eggs.  It is satisfying to not have perfectly good food items go to waste. It is also fun to create).
