Servings: 8 Preparation Time: 25 Minutes Cooking Time: 45 Minutes

• No-stick cooking spray
• 2 1/2 pounds (about 8 medium) potatoes, cut lengthwise into 1-inch thick wedges
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cans (15 ounces each) chili with beans
• 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh jalapeño peppers
• 1/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• Sour cream, optional
• Chopped green onions, optional

Heat oven to 400ºF. Lightly spray 2 foil-lined baking sheets with no-stick cooking spray. In large bowl, combine potatoes, oil, and garlic; toss to coat. Arrange in even layer on baking sheets; season potatoes with salt and pepper. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until tender and browned, turning potatoes and switching position of pans halfway. Meanwhile, in saucepan, combine chili, cheese and jalapeños; heat over medium-low heat 5 to 8 minutes or until cheese is melted, stirring occasionally. Stir in cilantro. To serve, spoon chili mixture into heatproof bowl; place on large serving platter. Surround chili with potato wedges; serve with sour cream and green onions, if desired. Serve immediately. (Chili may be served as a sauce for dipping or spooned over potato wedges on individual plates.)
