Recipe: Golden Potatoes with Cheddar Sauce

Golden Potatoes with Cheddar Sauce

3 large baking potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Cheddar Sauce:
2 tbsp canola oil
2 tbsp flour
1 1/4 cups 2% milk
1 1/ 4 (5 oz.) cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tbsp finely chopped green onions
1 tbsp imitation bacon bits
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

In a resealable plastic bag, toss potatoes with oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly onto baking pan that has been lightly coated with cooking spray and cover with foil.

Bake for 30 minutes, remove cover and turn potatoes. Bake for 10 additional minutes or until lightly browned.

Heat oil in medium saucepan. Add flour and stir over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add milk and stir until thickened.

Reduce heat to low; stir in cheese, green onions, bacon bits and pepper. Serve potato wedges with warm cheese sauce.

Substitution Idea:
To cut down on the preparation time, use frozen potato wedges from your grocer's freezer section, instead of fresh potatoes.
