Old Bay Oven Potatoes

Method

1. I

   Clean potatoes well and remove any bruised or pitted sections. Don't remove skin.

2. II

   Slice potatoes in half, then in thirds to create wedges.

3. III

   Soak potatoes in a large bowl of water for at least a half hour and up to two hours. This helps eliminate some of the starch. NOTE: You can skip this step if time is an issue, but they always come out better for me when I soak them for awhile.

4. IV

   Preheat oven 475°F.

5. V

   Place wedges on ungreased cookie sheet with skin side down.

6. VI

   Sprinkle on salt, Old Bay seasoning, and top with chopped fresh dill (if using).

7. VII

   Flip potatoes over onto one side.

8. VIII

   Bake potatoes 30-45 minutes at 475F or until golden and bubbly on outside, tender on inside. (Flip onto other side after 15-20 minutes of cooking.).

9. IX

   Note: Be sure that potatoes are brown and crispy before removing from oven. I've found that it's hard to overcook these, but easy to undercook.

10. X

    Topping suggestions: ketchup, dijon mustard, ranch dressing, sour cream, barbeque sauce, or honey-mustard. (You can add extra salt if that's what you like).

11. XI

    Enjoy these as you would french fries without all the grease and sodium!
