This week's article - Homemade Potato Wedges!

Are potatoes a staple in your house?  Here is an easy way to save money when it comes to purchasing bagged potato wedges (or french fries).  It is super easy and tastey making your own potato wedges from a whole potato.

Here's what you do:

**Heat oven to 375 degrees
**Wash up 1 potato for each person you will be serving
**Peel or not peel?  This is up to your preference
**Quarter potatoes and cut into thin slices
**Spread out and lay on greased cookie sheet (I just spray with cooking spray) like in picture above
**Sprinkle potatoes with Lawrys seasoning or salt and pepper to taste.
**Bake for 10 minutes on both sides.
For a different version: Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese and place back in oven 'til melted.

Total cost:
Bag of french fries $2.50 vs. 5 lb bag of potatoes on sale for $.99-$1.49!

Above recipe will depend on how many potatoes you use, but super cheap!  And much more flavorful!
