How to Make It
Alright, let’s talk about these Smoky Jack Daniel’s Potato Wedges—because who doesn’t want their potatoes soaking up some serious smoky goodness?
Grab yourself about 450 grams (or a pound, if you’re feeling imperial) of those charming little new potatoes. Slice them up lengthwise into wedges, not too thin—these babies need some heft to hold all that saucy glory. Toss them into a roasting tray, splash on a couple of tablespoons of olive oil (because dry potatoes are just sad potatoes), then sprinkle with sea salt and a few twists of coarse black pepper.
Pop them into a preheated oven at a toasty 200°C (that’s 400°F for the non-metric crew) and let them roast for around 20 minutes. This gives them a good start, softening up inside while getting a little golden on the outside.
Here’s where it gets fun: pull those wedges out and drown them in half a bottle of Jack Daniel’s Full Flavour Smokey Barbecue Sauce. Don’t be shy—make sure every wedge gets a nice saucy hug.
Gently toss them around so the sauce clings like a plant-based hug from your favorite vegan buddy. Back into the oven they go for another 15 minutes or so, just long enough for the sauce to reduce and glaze the potatoes into deliciously sticky, smoky perfection.
When you take them out, they should be fully cooked, beautifully caramelized, and begging to be eaten. Serve them warm with the other half of that bottle of Jack Daniel’s Barbecue Sauce on the side for dipping—because double dipping is encouraged in this plant-powered party. Remember, you can enhance these wedges with a homemade sauce that rescues boring bowls to elevate their flavor even further!
Bonus Tips
- Want to crank up the sizzle? Toss in some smoked paprika or cayenne before baking—because who doesn’t want their potatoes with a little vegan fire?
- Feeling fancy? Sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary or thyme on top right after the final glaze for that “gourmet plant-based chef” vibe.
- Double-dip alert: Use the leftover sauce as a marinade for tofu bites—because smoky wedges deserve equally smoky pals on the plate! Plus, these smoky sweet glazed veggies feature colorful, caramelized goodness that will elevate your meals.
