I love potatoes.

Mashed, Fried (I know..), Boiled, doesn’t matter, I would eat potatoes every single day.

So when Brendan from Eating Well Ottawa asked me to come up with a recipe including potatoes and turnips, I immediately thought of flavourful Baked Potato and Turnip Wedges.

Add the right spices and put them along side of some delicious Chicken Cacciatore and you’ve got a winner dinner, I tell ya!

Turnips are too often forgotten but made this way, they are delicious!

Change it up and add some root vegetables to your normal potato wedge partay!

Enjoy my lovelies!
