Directions
Soak the potato wedges in a bowl of water and pop them in the fridge for at least an hour. When you're ready, heat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. Melt half a cup of butter on low heat, then pour it into a shallow dish for dipping. In another shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Coat each potato wedge in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the melted butter before placing it on the baking sheet. You’ll probably need to melt more butter as you go since the flour will thicken it up. Bake the potatoes for about 35 to 40 minutes, until they’re tender inside and nicely golden on the outside.
Serving Advice
Serve alongside grilled meats or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. They also work well as a side for breakfast dishes like eggs and bacon. A simple green salad can balance the richness on the plate.
How To Save Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in a skillet to keep the potatoes crispy rather than using a microwave. Avoid freezing as the texture may become grainy.
