This Spud’s for … um, me :) Parmesan Potato Wedges

March 12th, 2012 |

Yes, I had taters for dinner. Just taters. Some days I just want simple and comforting. I don’t do this often as I prefer protein to veggies but every once in a blue moon I’ll splurge and just eat veggies for dinner – and no, we’re not talking about those greeny leafy things either. I’m talkin’ ’bout good old fashioned taters. Now I know, “you need protein with every meal! You should know better!” Right I do Mom buuuuuuuuuuuuuut considering I had nothing but protein for breakfast AND for lunch, I was protein overloaded. I wanted something with substance that would leave my tummy happy and content. And again, it’s not an every day type of thing but this was simple, quick and seriously so good!

Now normally when I make these, they are as a side dish when I attempt to grill (trust me, it’s NOT pretty when I grill). I can cook and bake like a banshee but you give me a grill and I can guarantee you either raw steaks or bricks for burgers! LOL

Do any of you want to swap trainings? You train me on the grill and I’ll train you to make breads or pastry?
