Seasoned Potato Wedges Recipe {Jo Jo’s}

by Heidi on November 3, 2009

Some call them Seasoned Potato Wedges, some call them Jo Jo’s ~ whatever you call them here’s a delicious recipe!!

Potatoes often go on sale, and can be purchased very inexpensively. When I find potatoes on sale, I love making homemade hash browns, twice baked & stuffed potatoes, and seasoned potato wedges!

Here’s a yummy and very frugal recipe…

Seasoned Potato Wedges Recipe
{or as we call them… Jo Jo’s}

What You’ll Need:

  • 3 medium Russett Potatoes
  • 1 tbsp. Olive Oil {I use Extra Virgin}
  • 1 tbsp. Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 tsp. Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt {I use sea salt}
  • 1/8 tsp. Ground Pepper
  • Optional: Dashes of Paprika and Onion Powder or 1/4 tsp. Red Robin Seasoning {can be purchased at Red Robin restaurants}

What You’ll Do:

  • Scrub potatoes {don’t peel}.
  • Cut lengthwise into wedges, set aside.
  • Combine all other ingredients and stir together in small bowl.

  • Brush mixture onto potato wedges.
  • Place potato wedges skin side down in shallow baking pan.

  • Bake uncovered at 375 degrees for 1 hour or until tender.
  • Serve as a snack, or a tasty side for dinner.
  • Enjoy!!

Mmmm, it's been a long time since I have gotten good jojos, I may have to try this!

Hi Amanda!

For the homemade hashbrowns, I peel the potatoes, cube them, grill them up in some butter, and stir in plenty of Red Robin seasoning… mmm ~ yum! :)

Are you in Ohio? My husband loves jo-jo's but I've never heard of them outside of the Akron area.

Heidi @ The Frugal Girls! November 5, 2009 at 12:38 pm

Hi Lucky ~ we're actually in Arizona {although originally from Washington State ~ Seattle area}.

Up in Washington, they are even sold at grocery store deli's as "Jo Jo's" :)

I love this recipe, because I am always on the lookout for a great side dish. I like to roast veggies, so with all the great flavors, this is great!

Ooh, that looks delicious! We do something similar, but cut them really thin and eat them as oven fries. Who doesn't love a good potato recipe?! Thanks so much for sharing.

The other day I did similar spices & pan fried ‘em… actually it was St. Patricks day, you got me in the mood for Corned beef so I made sandwiches & potato wedges! I will have to try this recipe though… yum!
