I got this recipe from former Food Network Star finalist, Kelsey Nixon. I had some potatoes that needed using, so potato boats it was. We served these with some grilled chicken, and even though I NEVER crave steak, I think steak with these would be heavenly! Bottom line is these were easy to make, my 3-year-old love helping and shaking, and they were good even if not good for you.
4 baking potatoes, cut into wedges (I used 5 medium-sized and cut them in half lengthwise, then each half into 6 wedges)
1/3 c. flour
1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp. salt (I would only use 1 tsp. because they were pretty salty with the cheese and the bacon)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/3 c. milk
1/4 c. melted butter (you could use less)
Toppings: shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, parsley, etc.
Preheat oven to 400. In a ziptop bag (at least quart size) combine all dry ingredients. Dip potatoes into milk and then put in bag. (It works best to only coat about one potato at a time). Shake potatoes in bag to coat completely with 'breading'. Put potatoes onto baking sheet (they will cook best if they have a little space between them to breathe and bake) and drizzle with the butter. Bake until golden brown and soft when pierced with fork (this took about 30 minutes for me).
Remove from oven and top with cheese and bacon, return to oven to melt cheese (2 minutes). Serve with sour cream, etc. (Sorry I forgot to take a picture when done). I really liked these, and ate more than half of them myself. They were a bit salty, but I'd just cut down the salt next time. These would be great for a dinner party or as a side with burgers.
