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.
7- Put the potato over a cookie sheet or baking pan and place it in the oven. You can put the potato directly on the rack but I would advise against it as it can get messy.

When the time is up, use a fork to pierce different areas of the potato.
