BROILED POTATO WEDGES. 2 lg. baking potatoes, cut lengthwise into 8 wedges. 2 tbsp. vegetable oil. 2 tbsp. butter, melted and mixed with 1 tsp. dried basil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Arrange potatoes on a foil lined cookie sheet; brush with oil. Broil 4 inches from heat 10 minutes. Brush with butter mixture. Broil 5 minutes longer or until lightly browned and tender.
Step 4. Place potatoes directly on the oven rack, and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes for medium to large potatoes. Turn the potatoes over halfway through the baking time to ensure even crispness and avoid darkening on one side. Step 5. Remove from the oven when baking time ends and cut or squish the top of the potato open.
