Surviving supper club

[Danestress]

I am supposed to make a fairly massive quantity of potato wedges for a neighborhood supper club - enough for 40 people (the theme is sort of Texan or Western or something, so these go with ribs).

Anyway, I have a big bag of baking potatoes. Do I need to peel them? Can I slice them ahead and keep them in the refrigerator? In water? Lemon water?

If I just coat them with a lot of oil and seasoning and then bake them at 400 degrees, will that work?

I had this item assigned to me, and I really don't want to have to buy frozen potatoe fingers at the grocery because I am trying trying trying to be frugal!!!

Leave the skins on, coat them in oil and some seasonings (may taco type) and then spread them thinly on grease baking sheets and cook them at a high temperature-- at least 400-425. For that many people, you will probably have to do many baking sheets. If you put too many on the sheet, they don't cook well and they stay mushy. A stone works well too, but you probably don't have enough of them. Could you change to garlic mashed potatoes. They are easier to cook in bulk and go nicely with ribs as well.
