As you already know I am a football girl. To be more exact I am a New York Giants football girl. Unfortunately I now live in Atlanta Falcons territory. So when my Giants were scheduled to play dem dirty birds of course I had to hit the kitchen.
I wanted to keep it simple so I went with making a batch of loaded potato wedges. Pretty simple to do and you only need a few ingredients.
baking potatoes
thick cut bacon
green onion or chives
sour cream
cheddar cheese ( shredded)
olive oil
kosher salt
black pepper
Lay bacon strips on a baking sheet. Place in cold oven and adjust temperature to 400(by doing this you actually have strips that don’t curl up)should take 12-15 minutes. Split potatoes in half(cuts baking time down). Drizzle potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt & black pepper. Place potatoes cut side down on baking tray and place in oven, roughly 25-30 minutes. Check tenderness with a knife. Remove bacon from oven and place slices on paper towel to drain. While potatoes finish baking dice bacon and cut green onions. I like to thin my sour cream out with heavy cream to make it easier to drizzle(you can add thinned sour cream to a squeeze bottle for even easier drizzling). Remove potatoes from oven. You want to work with them while still hot. Place a couple of halves on a plate and slice into wedges. Sprinkle with cheese, bacon, drizzle sour cream and then top with green onion. Viola.
I don’t know if it’s because I was raised by a Jamaican mother or if it was the era I was raised in but
