Bacon Grease Potato Wedges OR Healthy Wedges

***Sorry in advance to a certain sister of mine who runs this blog and thinks bacon grease is evil....
but after all, this is called "I love to eat GOOD food," there is no mention of healthy...


BACON GREASE POTATO WEDGES

You will never taste french fries as good as these!

4 Potatoes, washed and cut into 1/2 inch wedges or strips (skin on)
2 Tbsp bacon grease (strained)
Salt

Melt bacon grease in a glass measuring cup. Place potato wedges in a bowl and pour melted bacon grease over wedges. Toss until well covered. Spread wedges onto an ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with desired salt. Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through cooking. To get that extra crunch at the end, you can broil it for 2-4 minutes.


Mmmmm....

And in case you don't believe me....

HEALTHY WEDGES

I suppose if you are opposed to the wonderful flavor of bacon grease, you could substitute it for Olive Oil and sprinkle the wedges with herbs and/or salt. But really, it is not going to taste as good. Still kinda good, just not as good.
