Cooking geniuses, here's a question.

Posted by ty97 Apr 20 '10, 07:56

As a side with dinner tonight, I'm going to cut some potatoes into wedges, put some olive oil, Italian seasoning and sea salt on them, and bake them.

How should I apply the olive oil? I don't want to dip the wedges in oil, that seems like overkill, right? It seems I want to more brush them on the outside wil oil? Is that right? (If so, how? I don't have all those fancy kitchen gadgets like basting brushes)

Responses:

Gallon sized Ziploc. Put a couple tablespoons of oil, your seasoning, the potatoes. Close the bag and shake it up. - Jim Apr 20, 08:14 4
- using a bowl is more environmentally friendly :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:34 1
  - Not if you rinse out the ziploc and re-use it! (nm) - musubi Apr 20, 08:35
- Yep. - kelly Apr 20, 08:32
- ditto. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 20, 08:21
To save on cleanup, put the oil and seasonings in a plastic bag, add potatoes , hold the bag closed with some air inside, shake well. - MojaveMeg Apr 20, 08:11 2
- yup, that works good. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 20, 08:15
- we do this for shake n' bake as well. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:13
Don't forget the salt and black people. -- nm - nubby Apr 20, 08:10 1

Do this if you don't have a brush - ceregon Apr 20, 07:59
sigh, where did my response go. my non fancy suggestion - tRuMaN Apr 20, 07:59
Put your thumb over the spout of the bottle and shake the oil onto them, for lack of a better description. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 07:59
what we do is cut all the potateoes up, put olive oil in a large bowl, drop potatoes in bowl, shake. sprinkle seasoning shake again. done -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 07:58 5
- and you don't need alot of oil either. -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:01
- this is pretty much what I do... -- nm - znufrii Apr 20, 08:01
- thanks for the tip, Mr. Quayle -- nm - zork Apr 20, 07:59 2
  - I think you mean Morris Day. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 08:00
  - I like to add e's to my potatoes :) -- nm - Beaker Apr 20, 08:00
put it all in a mixing bowl and just stir it around. -- nm - Reagen Apr 20, 07:58 1
- This is also a great solution. Actually brushing them is way too much effort. -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:02
yes. brush them. do you have a new (unused) small paint brush? - decline Apr 20, 07:58
you can use a folded up paper towel instead of a brush -- nm - zork Apr 20, 07:57
Use one of those things the Pope uses to bless people -- nm - oblique Apr 20, 07:57 2
- His penis? -- nm - Shaun Apr 20, 08:02 1
  - heh -- nm - zork Apr 20, 08:08
