Roasted Buffalo Potato Wedges Recipe

You may not be able to solve the world’s problems with buffalo potato wedges, but the world will be a better place to live once you make these tasty morsels.

Potatoes. Can you ever get enough of them? The great thing about potatoes they are the perfect side dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Not only do you get the rustic taste of roasted potatoes, but you get the spicy kick of the hot sauce and butter coating.

Did you know that buffalo sauce was invented in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York?  (Now you know why they call them “buffalo” wings!)

In the New York area, buffalo chicken wings are served with blue cheese dressing, but outside the New York area – Ranch dressing is most popular.

I have a homemade blue cheese dressing recipe you might want to try here.  It’s so darn good – you won’t purchase store-bought again!

Having a list of your favorite potato recipes is one of the easiest ways to get dinner on the table.

When properly stored, potatoes can last for months.  That means you can always have some on hand in case you’re looking for a side dish for your favorite meal.

This recipe takes minutes to prepare, so it’s sure to become a family favorite.

These potato wedges would also make a great appetizer for a party.

Buying Potatoes for Buffalo Roasted Potato Wedges

1) Conventionally grown potatoes have one of the highest pesticide contents of vegetables.  It’s best to buy organic potatoes when you can.

2) Avoid potatoes with a green tint.  This tint means they didn’t store the potato properly, and exposed it to light.  Eating green-tinted potatoes isn’t good for you.

3) There are toxins in potato sprouts, so make sure you cut them off before cooking or baking your potatoes.

Best Ways to Store Potatoes

1) Only wash the potatoes prior to using them.  Washing potatoes before storing, causes a quicker decay of the vegetable.

2) Keep potatoes in a cool, dark place.  Do NOT store potatoes in the refrigerator.  Doing so will change the sugar content and ruin the taste of potatoes.

3) You don’t want to store potatoes in plastic bags.  Switch them out for paper bags, or leave the potatoes in a basket.

4) Keep your potatoes away from apples, bananas, and onions.  The gas from these fruits and vegetable will cause potatoes to decay faster.

Ingredients

4 large potatoes, cut into wedges (I used Ukon Gold)

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

1/4 cup butter

1/4 – 1/2 cups hot sauce – I use Frank’s  (the amount you use depends how hot you want your potato wedges)

Ranch dressing or ketchup for dipping
