Buffalo wild wings potato wedges ingredients
- Large potatoes (4 pieces)
- Melted butter (¼ cup)
- Cooking spray
- Hot pepper sauce (1 cup; buffalo-style, as you are preparing buffalo recipe)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Salad dressing (¼ cup; ranch)
- To taste, freshly ground black pepper or salt
Directions for preparing potato wedges BWW
- To start the cooking process, preheat your oven to 430-degree Fahrenheit.
- Wash and rinse the potatoes using running water. Store-bought potatoes contain a vast amount of dirt, so be careful with the washing process and make sure there is no dirt left. Then take a sharp knife as the cutting needs to be perfect. Cut the potatoes lengthwise, in half, at first, and then cut each half into 4 pieces of wedges.
- Now starts the cooking process for the Buffalo wild wings potato wedges recipe. So, take it the sheet pan and spray it with cooking spray (you can also use a greasy sheet pan if you want) and place the potato wedges on it in a single layer.
- Drizzle the wedges using olive oil and sprinkle a little salt as per your preference. Then toss the wedges on the pan and make sure they are coated nicely. You can either use your hands or a spatula, for the coating process if you want to keep yourself tidy and neat.
- Now set them into your preheated oven, and bake the potato wedges at the same temperature (430-degree Fahrenheit) for 18-20 minutes. To be more specific, keep baking until the wedges turn crisp and golden in color. Remember, the bigger the wedges are, the more time the baking process takes. Then take the pan out of the oven.
- At this stage, take a brush and coat the potato wedges lightly using your favorite Buffalo Wing sauce. Finishing the coating process, place the pan back into the oven, and bake the wedges for 3-4 more minutes. During this time, the coating sauce should be dried to some extent, which is exactly what you need to make sure.
- To finish off, take the pan out of the oven.
Now you have the homemade potato wedges in your hand. Serve it along with some dipping sauce in a small bowl. The taste is sure to take you by surprise!
Tips and Tricks
There is a little secret to finely roasted crispier potato wedges. Cut the potato pieces as small as possible, for making a traditional potato wedge dish, and the potato pieces will roast better and you will get much better and crispier potato wedges.
You can also use margarine instead of butter if you want. Another important thing is to adjust the spiciness of the recipe. All don’t like the same standard of spiciness, so master the use of butter (margarine) and hot pepper sauce, which will help you adjust the spiciness and get your desired standard for it.
