Uncle Bills Microwave Potato Wedges Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the first four ingredients on a microwave-safe plate. Cut potato lengthwise into eight wedges. Coat wedges in the seasoning mixture; arrange on the same plate. Cover and cook on high for 4-6 minutes or until tender, turning wedges once. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and garlic powder; mix well to blend.
• Scrub potatoes well.
• Cut potatoes lengthwise into eight wedges.
• Drop potato wedges into seasoning mixture and toss to coat.
• Arrange potato wedges in a 9" x 13" microwave-proof casserole dish.
• Pour remaining seasoning mixture over potatoes.
• Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 8 to 10 minutes or until tender; turning wedges over at half time of cooking.
• Remove from microwave and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Place Parmesan cheese, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, salt, and potatoes into a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag, then shake to coat the potatoes with the seasoning. Spread the potatoes over a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• If potatoes are old, peel and slice thin, less than 1/16" in thickness (paper thin), slicing across the potato.
• If the potatoes are new or good skins, DO NOT PEEL, just scrub well, then slice them less than 1/16" in thickness (paper thin), slicing across the potato.
• Place potato slices in a bowl, sprinkle with some salt (if desired) cover with cold water and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Remove potato slices in batches onto paper toweling and pat dry.
• If you have a microwave bacon tray, rub the tray with a vegetable oil, then place the sliced potatoes flat on the tray in a single layer.
• Sprinkle with your choice of herbs or spices or just leave them plain.
• Cover with a microwaveable, round heavy plastic cover.
• Microwave on HIGH (full power) for 5 to 5 1/2 minutes or until they curl slightly and are a very light brown in color.
• Cooking time could vary slightly, depending on the wattage of your microwave and the thickness of the slices. The thinner the slices, the quicker they cook and the tastier they are.
• You do not have to turn the sliced potatoes over.
• If you do not have a bacon tray, use a microwave safe casserole dish.
• Rub the inside of the dish with some olive oil for the first batch of potato chips.
• I do not know why, but I find that if you do not rub oil the first time, some chips will tend to stick to the dish.
• After the first batch is done, you do not have to rub the dish again.
• Continue to microwave the remainder of sliced potatoes as noted above.
• If using a bacon tray, after the first batch is cooked, you can reduce the microwaving time to 4 1/2 minutes and even less as you continue to microwave each batch.
• NOTE: You can also use PARCHMENT PAPER to microwave the potato slices. Lightly spray or rub the parchment paper with some vegetable oil or a Pam spray. Place your potato slices on the parchment paper, then sprinkle them with whatever you like and then place another piece of parchment paper on top. This will help microwave the potatoes more evenly and they should turn out nice and crisp. Microwaving time should be between 5 and 6 minutes.
• ADDITIONAL IDEAS, suggested by Deb K:.
• Granulated garlic powder with parsley.
• Cracked black pepper, grated parmesan and sea salt sprinkled after removing from microwave.
• Another, after removing chips from microwave, sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese, zap for a few seconds to melt the cheese, then add a dab of sour cream.
• A great dip is Robert Rothschild Farm Dips:.
• Emerald Isle Onion Dill and Horseradish Dip.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Cut the potatoes into chunky wedges, then boil in the water for 7 mins. Drain and leave to steam dry for 5 mins.
• Spread the wedges out on a large baking sheet or two smaller ones. Toss with the oil and 1 tsp salt (preferably sea salt) and spread out so that they aren't overlapping. Roast for 30 mins, turning halfway until golden and crisp.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan or a medium cooking pot, add potatoes, cover with water; bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for about 10 minutes. The potatoes will not be fully cooked and that is fine.
• Drain and transfer to a large cooking pot.
• In a large frying pan, on medium-high heat, melt 1/4 cup of butter.
