Buffalo Potato Wedges

If you follow this blog, you know I love Buffalo chicken wings. And anything that reminds me of Buffalo chicken wings. Such as these Buffalo potato wedges. You can’t possibly find anything easier to make, and they taste just like Buffalo chicken wings.

Buffalo Potato Wedges

I baked the potato wedges, but you could deep fry them also. You could probably also get away with using pre-cooked baked fries. Just toss them in some sauce before serving. Instead of ketchup, serve your Buffalo potato wedges with Ranch for dipping. Or even blue cheese dressing. I don’t think I’d go so far as to add celery and carrot sticks, though.

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Clean each potato and dry well with a paper towel.
  • Cut potatoes into wedges (the smaller you cut them, the crispier they’ll get). Try to make them all about the same size so they cook in the same time.
  • Place wedges into a large bowl and drizzle with the oil. Toss to coat well.
  • Transfer potatoes to the baking sheet. Spread them out so they do not overlap or touch.
  • Bake potatoes for 30 minutes.
  • Flip each wedge over and bake another 20 minutes until nice and crunchy and golden brown.
  • Meanwhile, warm the wing sauce in a small sauce pan.
  • Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and drizzle with the wing sauce. Toss to coat.
  • Serve immediately (or the potatoes will get soggy) with Ranch dressing for dipping.

Grilled Kielbasa Dinner Packets

Usually, a quick grilled dinner at our house consists of some burgers or dogs, with a side and a salad. But sometimes, I like to throw together a just-as-easy meal-in-a-packet, like these grilled kielbasa dinner packets. Everything’s in there. Just assemble (you can put them together the night before) and toss onto a grill (I used my Weber grill) over medium heat until the vegetables are tender. Adding rosemary really takes this from a rather mundane dish to something a little more special. Next time, though, I’m adding chopped bell pepper or poblano for a little crunch.

Chorizo Fried Potatoes

These chorizo fried potatoes are so good you almost don’t need anything else with them. I had a batch with breakfast, but you can also use them in tacos or tortillas – just add a little shredded cheese!

Chorizo Fried Potatoes

I love Mexican chorizo. Quite often I mix it half-and-half with ground beef for a more kicked-up dish than using just plain ole beef. It certainly makes for great chorizo fried potatoes.

When I first started cooking I kept running into recipes that called for chorizo, but they didn’t say which kind. Now it’s obvious to me, but there’s a mighty big difference between Mexican chorizo (a spicy ground meat mixture) and Spanish chorizo (a dried, salami-like spicy meat). I love them both, though.

Also try my andouille Cajun potatoes.

Creole Roasted Potatoes

I could probably eat andouille sausage all day long. I just love that great smoky, garlicky, oniony flavor. And it has a great texture. Not mushy. Sometimes andouille is a little hard to find here, so I end up substituting smoked sausage or even kielbasa. That’s ok, because no matter what sausage you use in these Creole roasted potatoes, it’s going to come out fantastic.

Creole Roasted Potatoes

These Creole roasted potatoes are a fantastically easy dish, with a nice kicked-up flavor. Dice the sausage when serving as a side, or cut it into rounds for a great main dish.

Fingerling Homefries

Fingerling potatoes are a great thing. They have such great potato taste. I try to substitute them for “regular” potatoes whenever I can just to get that extra potato punch. This time I decided to make homefries (that I usually make with russets) with fingerling potatoes instead and boy was I ever happy with the difference!

Smoke-Roasted Potatoes

Potatoes are a magical thing. You can top them so many ways. From simple, like this one, with just a little butter and sour cream, to the big time, with everything from mushrooms to cheese sauce to broccoli. Smoke-roasted potatoes have even more potato flavor than just regular old baked potatoes. The potato flesh come out tender, moist and creamy. The potato skin is crunchy, my absolute favorite. I love that pop of a great crunchy potato skin.

Smoke-Roasted Potatoes

If you’re cooking inside, then check out our post on The Best Baked Potato. But, if you are firing up the grill or smoker, go with these smoke-roasted potatoes instead. You won’t be disappointed.

Grilled Hasselback Potatoes

This is not my first time making grilled Hasselback potatoes. I have had a love-hate relationship with them in the past. I have always loved the presentation and the flavor, but I hated them when they would fall apart. I’d either cut them too deep, or handle them too roughly, and they would just fall to pieces. This time I got them just right.

Grilled Hasselback Potatoes

For me, there are two keys to making these grilled Hasselback potatoes. The first is to not cut too deeply into the potatoes. The way to do that is to put two wooden spoons alongside the potatoes (after cutting a small piece off the bottoms of the potatoes so that they do not roll around). When you slice them vertically, the spoons will stop the knife at the same point for each cut, well above the bottom, preventing you from cutting too far.

Second, when adding ingredients in between the slices, grab the ends of the potatoes. This will keep you from spreading the slices open too far, causing them to tear and fall apart. Follow those two simple steps and you’ll end up with great potatoes, too.

Potato and Green Bean Salad

Here lately I’ve found myself watching The Best Recipes Ever on CBC. I didn’t really need to watch another cooking show, but the recipes on this one caught my eye. This potato and green bean salad is the first one I’ve made and although my version came out looking a bit different than the original, it was pretty good.

Potato and Green Bean Salad

There are two things you have to keep in mind when making this potato and green bean salad. Some people have an aversion to cilantro, so you might want to use parsley instead, or at least cut back on the cilantro. Also, don’t just toss the dressing into the salad all willy-nilly. Add a little stir, taste, and check the consistency. It’s easy to add too much dressing (and I was dangerously close to having too much dressing on mine!).

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

Baby potatoes have such tremendous potato flavor. And they cook very quickly, making them great to make on the grill, like these spicy roasted baby potatoes. These little bites-of-nothing-but-goodness pack some mighty nice kick. Just like I like it.

You can substitute fingerling potatoes too, just make sure they are all about the same size or they won’t cook evenly. You want tender, tasty spicy roasted baby potatoes.

Spicy Roasted Baby Potatoes

For a little smokiness, substitute chipotle powder for the chili powder. You’ll still get a nice kick. And you’ll get just the right hint of smoke. If you’re cooking these on a gas grill, people will think you used charcoal or wood!
