Homemade Potato Wedges

4 potatoes scrubbed and cut into wedges

2-3 TBSP. olive oil

Salt to your liking.

The key to any great recipe is a great base and that is why we love homemade potato wedges. Sure, you could buy store bought french fries or waffle fries, but why not give this a shot.  We leave the potato skin on for an added nutritious benefit and crisp.  Preheat your oven to 425degrees F and slice four large potatoes into wedges. Toss the potatoes in a bowl or ziploc bag with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sea salt to taste.  Arrange the potato wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure they are not touching. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Be sure to flip half way through so both sides get crisp.

The Delicious Dip

Ingredients:

slices of uncured  bacon chopped into bits

package room temperature cream cheese

cups organic sour cream

tsp. salt

garlic powder

onion powder

pepper jack cheese shredded

sharp cheddar cheese shredded

green onions chopped

If you have been following us for a while you know how much we love cast iron skillets and that is what we use in this recipe.  The cast iron gives it the perfect heat, allowing it to cook evenly and hold the heat.  We also love cast iron because if you need to heat the dip back up or keep it warm you can put it in the oven on a low temperature.  Make sure your cream cheese is brought to room temperature so that it will blend easily with the sour cream.

In the cast iron skillet over low/medium heat cook the bacon bits until slightly crisp. While it is cooking in a small bowl combine the cream cheese and sour cream. Whisk in the salt, garlic powder and onion powder.  Once the bacon is done remove and blot out the grease.  Give the skillet a wipe down really quick so you don’t use all of the bacon grease. Pour in the cheese mixture and stir.  Add back in the bacon bits and stir.  Add in half of the sliced green onions.  Once everything is combined turn the heat to low and sprinkle the shredded cheeses on top.  Be sure to shred the cheese from a block because it melts so much easier. Cook until the cheese on top is gooey and it is bubbling.  Sprinkle on the remaining green onions.

To serve, the loaded baked potato dip, place on a wooden cutting board and spread out the potato wedges around it.  You can also move the dip into a large bowl and place the wedges into a serving bowl next to it.  Play around with the setup and have fun.  We like doing it on a wooden board because you can make it really cute for game day.  You can set out your favorite hot sauce and any of your favorite potato toppings including broccoli.  Why not sneak some greens in there if you can.

This loaded baked potato dip truly is the perfect appetizer for this time of the year.  It it easy to make, filling and fun to be creative with.  Bring this to your next party, everyone will gobble it up.
