If your family is like mine, sometimes just a big ol’ helping of fried potatoes is all it takes to put a smile on their face in the middle of a busy day.  These are plenty tasty, but are oven baked so they are a bit healthier than your typical french fries or potato chips.  Enjoy your roasted potato wedges with a little of your favorite dipping sauce, and the rest of the day will be so much brighter!

4 russet potatoes, cleaned and cut into “logs”
1/2 C butter, melted
1 C seasoned bread crumbs
2 tsp olive oil

Cover the potato logs with the melted butter.
Place the bread crumbs in a shallow dish.
Roll the potato logs in the bread crumbs to completely cover.
Place the olive oil on a cookie sheet or shallow baking pan.
Lay the potato logs in a single layer on the prepared sheet.
Bring the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
Roast the potato logs 15 minutes.
Turn and continue roasting for 10 more minutes or until a golden brown.
Place in thermos that has been pre-warmed.

Serves 4

Don’t forget to add the ketchup, sour cream, ranch dressing, or any favorite dipping sauce to the lunch box for a little extra treat.
