Cook them first, THEN SEASON THEM!
I prefer to ‘bake’ my potatoes, by steaming them in the Instant Pot.
I can steam a pot full and never have to worry about the alleged horrors of using the microwave oven. In seven minutes, they are ready to go and I take the water in the bottom of the pan and water potted plants, so I am reusing water, plus any nutrients in the water from the steaming process are, at least, not sent to the septic system and be wasted with the other waste.
Yea, I am OCD about stuff like that…. really OCD. (Poor Betty)
But after the potatoes cool off, I slice them and then place them in the Hot Air Cooking Bowl. I am sure they are placed ‘skin down’ when possible, and not touching each other.
Then I cook for about 8 minutes at 370. Then for some reason, I cook them again at 400 for about 4 minutes since they were not browned enough after the first session.
Usually by now, they are turning GOLDEN and very attractive!
Here is the key to success for my endeavor!
Get a spray bottle meant for spraying cooking oils. NEVER USE IT FOR OIL ! Oil is bad and will kill you with a slow death. YES EVEN OLIVE OIL and its EVIL TWIN Coconut Oil…. BAD BAD STUFF!
Anyway, put LOW SODIUM SOY SAUCE, or pickle juice, lemon juice in the manual spray bottle, pump it up, then lightly cover the potato wedges, THEN sprinkle on your seasoning of choice!
The flavor will be richer than if you cook, and burn on the seasoning while roasting the wedges… or think about this folks!!!! ….
… your hot air pop corn…… your oven baked corn tortillas… cooked, THEN FLAVORED with a quick spritz of Soy Sauce, then the Garlic Powder, Chili Powder, Date Powdered ‘Sugar'(100% Whole Dates Powdered) … …
… or all the above!
Ok, that is too much.
( or is it?)
I really meant to only do this one potato today so I could get the pictures for this blog post, but the potato turned out so well, I ate it along with the bowl of other goodies, which had some left overs and they will be a mid morning snack.
This was a Yukon Gold Potato. They have a different flavor than any other potato, and are great for making the wedge in the oven or the Hot Air Cooker.
What spices would you add to your wedge?
Remember, you can almost never add too many whole spices to what ever you are preparing. And also do not forget…
Spices are some of the richest sources of antioxidants and other necessary nutrients … and FLAVOR! Just be sure to use spices with NO additives, and no salt added.
Enjoy! Don’t punish yourself with counting calories, measuring protein, and fearing carbs.
Just simply enjoy!

These taters are coated heavily, and heavenly with Garlic Powder and Chili Powder. The Low Sodium Soy Sauce was sprayed before and after the spices were applied. They were still warm and were the best I have ever eaten.
So far…
