Loaded Parmesan Potato Wedges

edited October 2016 in EggHead Forum
My wife and I had our friend over last night for dinner. My friend lives in a group home where I can only assume the meals stay pretty basic. So I had to do something on the grill and not ordinary. It took me a little while to come up with something but have had a craving for a loaded baked potato for the longest time. It sounded like a win/win for my friend and I. That thought eventually tuned into some Jojo potato fries.

I found a recipe for some Parmesan wedges and went with it. I grabbed a vacuumed bag of pulled pork from the deep freeze. My wife made some homemade mac and cheese and threw together some coleslaw. Pretty simple especially with some some pulled pork on hand. My buddy is nonverbal but I didn't need any words to understand that he was digging it! The second round for him said everything! Here's a few pics of the taters:

    Looks tasty! 

    How did you do them? I'm guessing 400° indirect for 45 minutes?

    Boy, does that pile of grub look good.
    I'd hammer two plates too.
    Really cool gesture for your friend V, looks like time well spent together.

    My wife is not much of a salt person. She thought maybe 1tsp salt would be good next go around.

    Thanks! @Jameson19 You pretty much nailed it. The recipe says 25-35 minutes in the oven at 375 degrees. I was around 400 indirect on the egg and it was closer to 40 minutes.

    @Ima_good_egg Much appreciated! Something a little different for grub is a nice change.

    I mentioned above to shtgunal3 that my wife thought the 2tsp of salt was overkill. I'd maybe go 1tsp salt next go around. Super simple and filling

    Thanks! @Focker It's become a yearly tradition that we go out and pick some pumpkins at my Uncle's farm. My uncle will hook a wagon up to a tractor and give us a ride around the farm and fields. We always have fun together. I look foward to it every year.

    I still laugh when K and I had our first dance at our wedding. My buddy loves music and was having an absolute ball. K and I were called out to the dance floor by the DJ for the first dance. Everyone cleared off the dance floor except for my buddy. His mom and dad tried to get him off the dance floor but that wasn't going to happen. I went over to his parents laughing and said he was more than welcomed to dance with us. K, my buddy Nate, and I danced together for our first dance. Nothing I'll ever forget. I wouldn't change it for anything. Good times

    Thank you! @StillH2OEgger It used to be that we would go to Buffalo Wild Wings when we get together. Now when he sees me he makes a roof with his hands as a symbol to go back to my house. I can't complain. He enjoys the grub here at the house and it saves me a much bigger tab!

    Thanks! @tikigriller I hear you about cooking something different. It probably looks like I don't use my egg very much but most my cooks are basic grub on the egg. Finding something new and different makes cooking enjoyable to me.

    Those wedges look great!

    I've been making them recently too. I usually just throw some s/p and rub on them and bake them till light brown, turning them to get both sides. I like them a little crispy, but I eat them as sides with burgers and ketchup
