BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN POTATO WEDGES

When I was a young bride Mom instructed me that if my food budget was ever in jeopardy that I should always feed my family potatoes because they have so many nutrients. I learned later that those nutrients include almost all amino acids & fiber. They have calcium, potassium, Vitamin C, iron, iodine & phosphorus. On top of all that, potato skins have added iron and niacin. Mom was 100% correct and I’ve always remembered her words of advice.

When I saw the following recipe on the Internet. It looked good and even better was that the recipe includes the potato skins. I stirred up a batch; I shared it with my daughter and her husband and we all liked them, in fact, they got the recipe from me for their own use.

Along with these potatoes I prepared the recipe for ‘FAST DELICIOUS CHICKEN BAKE’ (here on my blog), added green beans as a side and wa-lah – a perfect meal!
