Oregano & Garlic Roasted Potato Wedges

One of the things that you readers are constantly asking for is more recipes for simple side dishes. Ask and you shall receive, dear readers.
 

These oregano and garlic potato wedges are super tasty and addictive to eat. The fresh herbs and the combination of olive oil and butter really makes these potatoes special. They're crispy and flavorful on the outside, soft on the inside, and baked, not fried. I wouldn't necessarily call these potatoes "healthy," but compared to French fries or creamy mashed potatoes... yes, they are.

These potatoes are a totally versatile side dish. We served them with a simple chicken breast and I think they'd be great served with any other grilled or sauteed protein too.


Ingredients:

• 5 redskin potatoes, cut into 6-8 wedges each
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 Tbs. fresh oregano, chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil
• 1/2 Tbs. butter, melted

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, mix all ingredients until well combined. Spread out on a large baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, until potatoes or browned on the pan side. Remove from oven, turn potatoes over to brown the other side and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.

Taste before serving and season with additional salt and/or pepper, if needed.
