A Simple Trick I’ve Used for Years
This is one of those simple kitchen tricks I’ve used at home for as long as I can remember.
These Garlic Wedge Potatoes are easy, reliable, and always a hit. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor — without any complicated steps. I learned this method from my mom when I was a kid, and it’s stayed in regular rotation ever since.
They’re a favorite side for just about anything grilled, and hands down one of my kids’ favorite versions of homemade fries. My mom still loves these served alongside a whole roasted chicken or a grilled jerk pork loin. Simple food, done right.
This one never disappoints. 😋
