Onion Ring Loaf (ala Tony Roma's Recipe)

4 to 6 white onions
1 cup milk
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups pancake mix
salt and parsley oil to taste

Slice onions crosswise and separate into rings. Combine milk, eggs and salt to taste in mixing bowl. Soak onion rings in mixture for 30 minutes. Place pancake mix in shallow bowl. Heat oil for frying in skillet to 375 degrees. Remove onion rings from milk mixture, dip in pancake mix and place in hot oil. Fry rings until golden brown. Drain fried onion rings on paper towels. Pack fried onion rings solidly, but loosely, without pressing, into 8 x 4 inch loaf pan. Bake at 400 degrees 10 to 15 minutes. Turn into serving plate. Garnish with parsley.

Potato Wedges - Baked

This is a fairly new recipe and gives a good baked potato wedge, but I prefer the fried of course.

4 potatoes
1/2 cup margarine
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Clean and wash potatoes - do not peel. Cut potatoes lengthwise into wedges. Heat margarine, sugar and Tabasco. Brush each potato wedge with mixture and place into a casserole dish with skin side to bottom of dish. Combine paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle potato wedges generously with mixture.

Bake for 55 minutes or until potatoes are tender and browned.
