If you are looking for the perfect side dish, look no further. These are a staple at my house (and you probably have all the ingredients on hand to make them right now!). They are so easy to throw together, super inexpensive, and my kids LOVE them. I love that they are baked and not fried- but they still have a "crunch" to them! They also have great flavor. Definitely a keeper!
6 Russet Potatoes cut into lengthwise quarters
6 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons oil (I use olive oil, but vegetable oil and canola oil would work too)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Add your oil to a baking sheet with sides.
Cut each potato into 8 wedges. Combine all dry ingredients into bag–either Ziploc or paper, and add a few potatoes at a time. Shake to coat well. Place the potatoes coated side down into the oil in the pan.
Continue doing this until all the potatoes have been coated and placed in the oil. Bake for about 20 minutes and then pull out and flip over on the other side. Bake for an extra 20 minutes. Pull wedges out of the oven and then sprinkle with alittle kosher salt. Serve hot.
Have you ever heard of
Utah's Famous PINK Fry Sauce?
OH. MY. GOODNESS. Once you have tried it, you will never go back. Fries and hamburgers will never taste the same once you have had this! And it compliments these Tater Wedges perfectly! :) (I have heard that many people outside of Utah eat this too . . . I am so happy to hear that it's not just a Utah thing . . . it's too good not to share with the world!)

This is how we make it:
2/3 cup mayo (light is fine)
1/3 cup ketchup
Mix together until thoroughly blended.
The great thing about this is you can add more ketchup/mayo to how you like it. I know that some restaurants substitute BBQ sauce for the ketchup, which is really good too! I have also thrown in some relish, which ads a yummy taste. Some people also prefer hot fry sauce and kick it up a notch with Tabasco sauce. I have even heard of people adding a couple drops of liquid smoke or Worcestershire sauce . . . . basically anything goes! :) Enjoy!
I love this recipe - my family would love it as well!!! Thank you for sharing another fabulous dish!

Thanks for sharing the recipe! As for the pink fry sauce my family has been making it for years, except we call it secret sauce and make it with Miracle Whip instead of Mayo. It's good with fries and on burgers!
ReplyDeleteI think to make the best fry sauce it needs a little pickle relish or something.
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Utah's Famous Fry Sauce? I am 51 years old and have been mixing mayo and ketchup together since I was in diapers and guess what, I'm not from Utah!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm just giving you a bad time, but seriously not sure why Utah gets to claim the sauce. lol
These potato wedges are wonderful! I have made them twice now and just came back to get the recipe again so I could make them to go with dinner tonight. Thanks for a great recipe!
ReplyDeleteI am featuring this on my blog on Wed because it is the yummiest yum recipe for french fries I have ever had!! Thanks! http://bellesbazaar-heather.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteEeew! My roommate in college used to mix mayo and ketchup all the time. It would make me gag because mayo stinks so bad.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha Ha! Maybe try Crown Burger's Fry Sauce.. then you might change your mind! It is to DIE FOR!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment-

Have a great Day :)
I also grew up mixing this same sauce but we added worcestershire sauce and a tad of horseradish sauce... you should try it.... it is AWESOME!!! another great sauce i grew up with is simply ketchup and worcestershire sauce... It is great on pork, chicken and beef.. Anyhow... off to bake some tater wedges!!! lol
ReplyDeleteI've completely changed the way my family eats this year, and I'm allways looking for new recipes that are both healthy and tasty. Thanks for a great recipe to eliminate the frying in fatty oil! A quick tip on how to make these just a little healthier: after you slice the potatoes, soak them for 20 minutes in cold water, then rinse before coating. This will release some of the starch (you'll actually see it floating in the water)so there won't be as much for your body to convert to sugar!
ReplyDeleteYummy! I've also added a little horseradish into the fry sauce for a little kick.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very popular sauce in the South and we add pepper to the mayo/ketchup mix. Some folks call it Comeback Sauce. Delish!!! Can't wait to try this recipe. Thank you so much for posting it!!!
ReplyDeleteI love going back and forth between ketchup and mayo. I never thought to combine them. Can't wait to try fry sauce.
ReplyDeleteI make my fry sauce with some pickle juice added to it! I live in New Mexico but I was in SLC at a little greek place when I tried it for the first time. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWhen my neice was in elementary school, the only thing that she would take for lunch were ketchup and mayonaise sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteCan you deep fry these??
ReplyDeleteSure! That might add to the calories and fat, but they would be delicious!
DeleteCan you deep fry these??
ReplyDeleteI like to mix mayo with a little garlic, black pepper, paprika, oregano and a very little bit of ketchup... If you're not a fan of mayonnaise you probably won't like it, but I LOVE it with fries, fried chicken, etc... It is really good!
ReplyDeleteI miss Arctic Circle! Special Sauce/fry sauce...and the best shakes in the world!
ReplyDeleteThey do have amazing shakes!
DeleteHave you ever frozen these? I'm stocking my freezer before new baby comes and would love to make and freeze a batch. Any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteHaven't frozen them before. But that is what the potato wedges that you buy at the store in the freezer section have been cooked before. It may just work!! :) -The Six Sisters
DeleteMy sister worked at Dairy Queen and she said they add pickle juice to the fry sauce, and that is what makes it taste and look like Dairy Queen and Arctic Circle fry sauce!! Mmm mmm mmm!! :) I love all your recipes and so does my husband!! He even got me the cook book for Easter because he loves all your recipes so much! :)
