Ranch Potato Wedges and Chicken Nuggets

Okay so confession; I really never had any luck with when it came to making potato wedges but after speaking with co-workers I discovered the secret is in the temperature.  They also gave me some cool seasoning ideas and so I came up with this one and to my surprise it worked out well.

Ranch Potato Wedges

INGREDIENTS

4 medium red potatoes cut into wedges
olive oil to coat
2 packets of Ranch dressing

PREPARATION:

Preheat oven at 400 degrees F
Place rinsed and cut wedges in sufficient size bowl (I use a topperware bowl with lid) thinly coat with olive oil.  Add ranch dressing and toss until evenly coated.  Place single layer on baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes.  Turn wedges over and bake an additional 15-20 minutes.

PREPARATION:

Cut chicken breasts into about 1 1/2-inch squares. Combine dry ingredients in small bowl. Dip chicken pieces in melted butter, then in crumb mixture. Pat crumbs on to coat. Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
