Baked Potato Wedges



I seem to be very into potatoes right now... Anyway, this one is tasty and easy! Here's what you need:

3 potatoes
Cooking Spray
Seasonings


1. Bake the potatoes in the microwave for 15-20 minutes.

2. Set the broiler on high, 400 degrees or so.

3. Spray a baking pan or cookie sheet with the cooking spray.

4. When the potatoes finish baking, cut them into quarters.

5. Place them in the baking pan and spray them with cooking spray as well.

6. Season the potatoes, I used salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. We like to use steak seasoning at home, that tastes fantastic.

7. Broil the potatoes for about 10 minutes, until they brown.


That's it! Good one to go with the wings or popcorn chicken. Enjoy!

Garlic & Butter Potatoes



This week I’m going to do a simple recipe my mom taught me. All this one uses is a microwave. What you’ll need:

4 Potatoes (I use red potatoes)

3 tablespoons butter

Garlic salt to taste

Water, just enough to cover the potatoes


1. Cut the potatoes into small chunks. Try to leave some skin on each one.


2. Put them in a container and cover with cold water. The cold water will make sure they cook evenly whereas if you’d put hot water in, the potatoes would cook more on the outside.


3. Heat that up for 8-10 minutes. I usually judge when it’s done whenever I can smell it pretty good. You want them soft, but not mushy.


4. Drain the water.


5. Put in the butter and stir.


6. Now put in some garlic salt to your liking and stir some more.


Enjoy!

Chicken Wings



My favorite thing for a special sporting event or something that doesn’t happen every day: chicken wings! It’s real easy to prep but the cook time is longer. Now for mine I’m just using seasoned salt, but you can use whatever seasonings you like. This is all you need:


1 package chicken wings

Seasoned salt or other seasonings.



1. Like I said, super fast prep time but a longer cooking time, so preheat the oven to 350 degrees.


2. Take the chicken out and put them in a baking pan, lined with foil for easy cleanup if you prefer.


3. Season them to your liking.


4. Bake for 40-45 minutes, take them out and flip them over.


5. Season this side as well, and bake for another 15-20 minutes.

See? Simple but time consuming. I think it’s worth it though! Enjoy!
