Spice Roasted Potatoes

SPICE ROASTED POTATOES

Chili powder, cumin and paprika spice up these crisply cooked potatoes.

Preparation time: 10 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes

3 Tbsp vegetable oil, plus some for the baking sheet

2 tsp chili powder

2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp paprika

3 medium to large baking potatoes, washed thoroughly and patted dry. Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 425F. Combine the 3 Tbsp oil and spices in a large bowl. Lightly brush the bottom of a large, sturdy baking sheet (mine was 11 x 17 inches) with vegetable oil. Cut each potato, lengthwise, in half. Cut each half potato, lengthwise, into 4 to 5 wedges. Place the potatoes in the bowl and toss to evenly coat each potato wedge. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast 30 minutes. Turn each potato over and roast 10 to 15 minutes more, or until golden and crispy.
