Crispy Fried Potato Wedges
"I leave the skin on for extra flavor but you can peel the potatoes if desired. Use one large slice of onion but do not chop as the onion slice will be removed before frying the potato wedges. Plan ahead the boiled potatoes need to be chilled before frying. You can fry the wedges slightly ahead and just crisp them up in the oven before serving."

I made these the other night for my Craft Night Ladies, we get together once a month to do crafts for Church & School events. This was so easy and delicious. Served this with some BBQ ribs, kidney bean salad, some of my homemade bread, and we were all set for the night. Thanks for posting. Melody/Lansing Illinois -
Yummy! I love this recipe! -
Yummmy, but just wondering...why remove the onions, they are such a good part of the recipe? (and good for you too) -
These are really good. I made them as directed and used Mrs. Dash Extra Spicy for the seasoning salt. These go very well with scrambled eggs and sausage. Thanks again, Kitten. -
I did the potatoes in the microwave stilt hey were fork tender then refrigerated them for almost 2 days! We had them for a late breakfast with omelets and they were gone in a flash. These will be made often as we love baby red potatoes. Thanks Carol for another one we loved!
