20 Minute Potato Wedges

Can I tell you something? One of my first jobs was at a restaurant & one of the perks was that we could order anything off the menu for our lunch break.

It was awesome because I loved the food there. Sometimes I would get the chicken fingers & a big ol’ boat of ranch dressing.

Oh man did they ever have the best chicken fingers. But my second favorite choice was the potato skins. I can never get enough of those & I would order them all the time.

To this day I always gravitate to game day snacks when we eat out. I love appetizers & I certainly have to have them when it’s football season. So of course for bacon month I just had to make some skins & load them up with bacon.

The thing that always kept me from making potato wedges in the past is how long they took to make & how labor-intensive they usually are.

So since I like to really break things down & simplify things, I had to do that with these wedges. If I can find a way to make anything easier then I’m all for it.

I’m obsessed with these. Now that I have them down to just 20 minutes of prep, these will definitely be happening every single weekend in this house. YUM-O!

Holy cow- these are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! Be sure to grab my ranch dressing recipe for dipping too!

Here are some commonly asked questions

How many can this serve?

This recipe makes about 12 wedges, so it will depend on how may each person is serving themselves. I like a lot, but find that 4 (or 1 potato per person) is more than enough to be satisfied.

Can this recipe be doubled?

You bet. Like I mentioned, plan for about 1 potato per person. You might need to work in batches depending on the size of your dish for the microwave. We have a large microwave but still can’t put a large dish & still have it turn.

HOW DO YOU MAKE 20 Minute Potato Wedges?

1. Wash the potatoes & cut each into 4 wedges.
2. Cut out most of the inner part of the potato.
3. Place potatoes in a shallow microwave-safe dish & microwave uncovered 10 minutes. (or until tender)
4. Remove & brush both sides of each wedge with olive oil & place on a baking sheet.
5. Sprinkle with salt & pepper & top with cheese, bacon & chives.
6. Broil in oven approx 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

What is the best way to store leftover potato skins?

Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, just microwave for 1-2 minutes or until hot.
