This weekend I am re-making a bunch of the pumpkin recipes on the blog, in order to get better photos of them (the items were made in the early days of the blog when my photo skills were pretty much nonexistent!). I’m not talking one or two recipes here…more like 8. So it has been a bit intense and hectic in my house and dinner needed to be easy and simple. Enter these potato wedges!
I absolutely love potatoes, and pretty much in all their various forms. Sometimes my potato love gets to the point where I think me and Samwise Gamgee might be long-lost bffs. I mean, they’re so versatile! Boil ’em, mash ’em, stick ’em in a stew (ok, I’m done with the Lord of the Rings references. For now…).
These were a breeze and would be a great choice for a quick side dish on any busy night. They’re tasty enough for everyone but are also digestion-friendly, so they’re perfect for those of you with IBS and/or GERD/Acid Reflux. They’re listed below as 6 servings because I felt that 4 servings made each serving too high in fat.
If you don’t have digestion issues then you could eat more and make this be 4 servings instead of 6; for everyone with IBS, though, definitely make sure to only eat 1/6 of these per sitting.
Roasted Rosemary & Thyme Potato Wedges
Ingredients
- 1+1/2 lbs Potatoes (red variety, rinsed and cut with skin on into 8 wedges each) - 1+1/2lbs=~4 medium-sized potatoes
- 1+1/2 Tbsp. garlic-infused olive oil
- 1+1/2 tsp. fresh rosemary (finely chopped)
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme (finely chopped)
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Toss the potato wedges with the oil, rosemary, thyme and salt in a large bowl, then spread them out evenly on the greased baking sheet.
- Bake for ~30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until potatoes have browned.

This sounds delicious and simple, but I didn’t realize garlic and oil were safe for GERD/acid reflux?

Hi Rhonda! I’m so sorry I didn’t see this comment until now. My spam filter was hiding things it shouldn’t have been hiding. The garlic-infused oil, so long as it is made from fresh garlic (as opposed to garlic powder), should be safe in small quantities. I mean you don’t want to go nuts with it, but it can be used in cooking to add some flavor to your dishes. Also, this may not be tolerable for everyone. For me personally, even with severe GERD I am fine using the garlic-infused oil. I don’t eat meals with it at every sitting, because you still have to pay attention to your overall day of fat intake and everything. It’s always best to try a little bit of something new like this oil, see how your body does with it and then go from there. Again, I’m so sorry for not responding to this earlier!
