Spiced Potato Wedges
Cooking time: 40 mins
SERVES: 6
Ingredients
- 1 kg roasting potatoes (e.g., Maris Piper or King Edward)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
-2 cloves garlic
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Method
-Preheat your barbecue to a medium-high heat or preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) if you're using an oven.
-Wash the potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato into thick wedges, leaving the skin on for extra texture and flavour.
-In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
-Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
-If using an oven, place the wedges in a single layer on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
-Remove the potato wedges from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your spicy potato wedges with a side of sour cream, ketchup or your favourite dipping sauce!
