Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Crispy Potato Wedges

 Crispy Potato Wedges

I made these last Friday night, and although I prepped a lot of food, these wedges disappeared almost instantly – they’re that good. What I love most about this recipe is that you don’t need to peel the potatoes, which is exactly what makes this recipe so a-peel-ing (sorry, I had to). A quick cut, a drizzle, a sprinkle, and into the oven they go.

Yields 6 Servings.

Ingredients:

  • 6 to 8 potatoes, cut into wedges
  • 3 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. dried parsley flakes

Directions: 

Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F). Line a large baking sheet with baking paper and drizzle a little olive oil over the surface. Arrange the potato wedges on the pan in a single layer so they aren’t overcrowded. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley, then drizzle with the remaining olive oil. 

Bake uncovered for 40-50 minutes, until crisp, golden, and soft inside.



Enjoy!

December Seasonal Open Thread

 


  


It's that time again to binge on movie trilogies or watch something new during the holiday season.  Create something new. We are onto the last two weeks of fall as trees stretch their barren arms and fingers to the sky.  A hush hovers over the land.  





As we gather near loved ones once again to
keep the cheer and love with the season









                                        










                     Coffee is plentiful.As winter is coming, best to start mornings right with coffee.  








                            Even Yeti knows as they indeed drink coffee!





Lights up and down the street, they wrap the home
in warmth and cheer. Take a walk to enjoy the solitude and splendor of the season.










Coca Cola Polar Bears with a smile.

















                             Hot chocolate with a loved one to close the day
                 while it snows,
 and snows outside. Let it snow
                          and snuggle  closer.











Or a gingerbread latte is above and beyond
















A phenomenon whycats like trees and
shiny breakables.  Perhaps
they think, "Ah they brought in nature for me!"

































 Take the time to take in the solitude,  read a
new book, or drink hot tea to close the day










































Reminders of winter and angels all around from their tiny
messengers















Remember times gone by they come around
again with sounds of the season reminding us
to be giddy like children. Embrace that to heart.  
And sing songs we remember.
