Freezer Cooking: Potato Wedges



I got this idea from a Rachel ray episode I say a long time ago where she used vinegar and sugar to season the potatoes (I think she called them German style). I have made these potatoes many times before, but I discovered that I really like them frozen for 2 reasons.

1) I always love potato wedges on the second day more than on the first because they get crisper-freezing takes advantage of this because you cook them once now and again to crisp them up later.



2) The vinegar in the recipe is enough acid to prevent the potatoes from turning brown which can sometimes happen in other freezer potatoes recipes.





Ingredients:
5 lbs of potatoes cut into wedges
1 tbs of sugar
2 tbs apple cider vinegar
4 tbs canola oil
salt to taste

Directions:
Toss potato wedges in oil vinegar, salt and sugar until coated and place on 2 baking sheets. Roast at 450 for 1 hour our until potatoes begin to brown. Freeze in storage containers. When ready to eat, thaw and then bake at 350 until wedges are crisp!

This recipe and the one for freezer mashed potatoes would be perfect for when I find a a 5# or a 10# bag of potatoes for $1. Otherwise, they go bad. Thanks! Kathy

I just found a 15# bag of potatoes yesterday for $3.99. Think I'll make this today :)
