Crispy Baked Potato Wedges

 Ingredients

• 4 medium russet potatoes, (1 1/2 to 2 lbs) scrubbed and rinsed
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt , or kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Cut potatoes into wedges by cutting lengthwise in half then slice each half into 4-5 wedges, (1/2“- thick). Place potatoes in a bowl of cold water with about 2 cups of ice cubes. Let them stand for 30 min then drain well and thoroughly pat dry with a tea towel or paper towels and place in a large dry mixing bowl.
• Season potatoes with salt, paprika, pepper, and garlic powder and toss to combine. Drizzle potatoes with 1/4 cup of olive oil and toss to coat potatoes in oil.
• Immediately place potatoes on the lined sheet in a single layer, cut-side-down, and bake at 450˚F for 20 min then flip the potatoes and bake another 12-15 minutes or until potatoes are crisp on the outside and tender inside.
• If using the topping, transfer the hot potato wedges to a mixing bowl, sprinkle with parmesan and parsley, and toss to combine. Serve right away with your favorite dipping sauce.

Peanut Sate Sauce

 

PEANUT SAUCE

• ▢1 tbsp cooking oil 
• ▢2 garlic cloves (minced)
• ▢1 small or 1/2 large onion (diced)
• ▢chili flakes to taste
• ▢1/2 cup peanut butter
• ▢1 cup coconut milk
• ▢2 1/2 tbsp kecap manis
• ▢1/2 tbsp soy sauce
• ▢1/2 tsp salt
• ▢1/4 cup crushed unsalted roasted peanuts (optional)
• ▢1 - 2 tbsp fresh lime juice

• Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and chillis and cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
• Turn heat down to medium, then add peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis, soy sauce and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
• Use a handheld stick to puree (so the onion and chilli blends throughout the sauce - this is key). (See Note 2 for blending instructions) Stir through crushed peanuts and lime juice and simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving or to room temperature - it will thicken.
