danyel	Posted - Mar 02 2020 : 11:10:59 AM Lots of questions today. As I am trying to learn to make even more of the items my family likes to eat, frozen potato wedges are on the list to learn. I would rather spend a few hours making several batches of something, then to go to the store for a preservative filled food. My question, has anyone made them with good results? Should I wash- quarter- apply spices- bake and freeze and then rebake to eat? Not bake the first time? I seriously don’t know where to start on this one. Thank you Blessings Danyel Farmgirl sister 4202

levisgrammy	Posted - Mar 05 2020 : 5:07:08 PM Julie do you have to use more oil in the air fryer than what is already put on the wedges for pre cooking to freeze? ~Denise Sister #43~1/18/2007 "Home is where we find comfort, security, memories, friendship, hospitality, and above all, family.

texdane	Posted - Mar 05 2020 : 08:21:50 AM I thought I would mention here, do you have an air fryer? Potato wedges cook evenly, crisply and fast in the air fryer. I love making them in mine these days.

treelady	Posted - Mar 04 2020 : 1:19:59 PM I just use what ever I have on hand Denis, but I prefer a baking potato, such as a russet. Us, that is what I meant by flash freeze. A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life. Max Lucado
levisgrammy	Posted - Mar 04 2020 : 10:15:53 AM I have a question about the wedges. Do you use baking potatoes Julie or is there another kind that you prefer that hold up better for the process? By flash freeze I'm thinking you mean separated on a baking sheet, freezing and then packaging? I never knew if that is what is meant by flash freezing. Just something I always did. ~Denise Sister #43~1/18/2007 "Home is where we find comfort, security, memories, friendship, hospitality, and above all, family.

danyel	Posted - Mar 03 2020 : 9:30:39 PM Thank you Julie “ tree lady”, thank you Sara! I will be making some either Wednesday or Thursday, so excited to try them. My family will be so pleased if I can make them turn out ! I hear what your saying Sara, i have such a feeling of accomplishment when I can pull a meal or dessert together and know what is in it. There are so many good conversations in here. Some are really many pages long. I have been reading a few at a time. Thank you again Blessings Danyel Farmgirl sister 4202
saram	Posted - Mar 03 2020 : 09:04:50 AM Handy tip! Thanks for sharing Julie, and thanks for bringing it up Danyel. I’ll be trying that method soon. And Danyel, you might want to take the time to read through the many many pages al these amazing farmgirl sisters have posted on topics like what are you freezing, what are you drying, what are you canning and more. I’ll guarantee they make you see the unlimited ways you can help provide for your family, including many things you’d never thought of. My household and daily life are transformed since I started learning on this chat room! More and more of my pantry is filled with homemade or home preserved foods, and it gives me such a positive boost to my self esteem. Thanks all you ladies out there!
treelady	Posted - Mar 03 2020 : 06:48:45 AM HI Danyel, potatoes wedges are very easy to make and wonderful to have on hand for a quick meal. Wash, quarter, toss in oil of your choice (I like coconut or olive oil)season, bake until almost done and flash freeze. To reheat just heat your oven to 400 and heat until hot and crispy. I use my air fryer most of the time to reheat and crisp up, you can also put them under your broiler for a minute or two to get crisp. These are so much better and cheaper than boughten ones. A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life. Max Lucado
YellowRose	Posted - Mar 02 2020 : 3:07:08 PM Danyel, I think Julie, "Treelady", posted she has frozen potato wedges. Hope she reads your posts and replies.
