Roasted Potato Wedges... Our Dinner... Addictions!!

So... It's another Thursday, and 4 long days since I've been in a grocery store... so what do we have for dinner tonight? Answer: not much... But thanks to our latest addictions... we have plenty of clementines, peanut butter filled pretzels, and plain ol' humble potatoes.... so, while this is the LEAST traditional dinner you may EVER want to have, it was pretty good!!!! Don't JUDGE... just EAT! So first, let's talk about our latest cravings.... We could not POSSIBLY be any more addicted to clementines!! The are like heroin in this house, and I'll take it!! If 4-5 clementines a day is normal... we are living the dream! And at 30 calories and tons of vitamins, we'll keep going with this clementine habit! The next addiction may not be the poster child of health and nutrition.... BUT WE DON'T CARE.... WE ARE ADDICTED TO PEANUT BUTTER FILLED PRETZELS!! I haven't researched the nutritional value on these, but I don't care what it is.... We can't quit our PB-filled Pretzels!! Next, and last addiction for tonight... our wedges... simple tasty, warm, humble potato wedges! Super simple and crazy good! Here's what we did tonight! First, wash and dry your potatoes. We used red potatoes (but any will do)!! Cut the potato into wedges and drizzle with olive oil to coat. Now for some flavor... sprinkle the wedges with some garlic powder, salt, pepper, and tonight... I sprinkled on a little cayenne pepper...cause we're ready for flavor and living dangerously!!! But seriously, you can add any flavor to those wedges that you like, and they will be awesome! Next, and this may seem weird, but DO IT... Pop those wedges up onto their skins, like little sail boats. The starchy sides will roast and get crispy and delicious! Cook in a 400 degree oven for at least 30 -45 minutes or until golden brown! Enjoy your wedges as they are, on their own, or with some creamy ranch dip... Or maybe with... tasty clementines and peanut butter filled pretzels! Or, if your feeling slightly more traditional with your dinner choices, you can enjoy these savory tasty treats with any roasted meat (chicken, pork, roast beef) and a tasty veggie side. Tonight was an unusual, tasty dinner with all our favorites!!! Clementines, roasted crispy red potato wedges, and peanut butter pretzels for dessert. No apologies.... weird... but, wholesome tasty goodness!
