Spicy-Sesame Oven Fried Potatoes

Bergy's Note:

These potatoes are a treat! I like them with chicken or burgers. Substitute peeled sweet Potatoes and follow the same recipe. I use my baking stone (covered with a piece of parchment paper). It seems to give a special crunch to the potatoes I say it serves 4 but if you love potatoes it may only serve 2

I really like sesame seeds. I keep a jar of toasted seeds in my fridge at all times. So, needless to say, I liked this. I did eliminate the fennel as I'm not fussy on them but did add a load of garlic to take its place. Another winner Bergy.

Excellent spuds bergy!!! We ate these with our roast pork, and they were a treat. The coating is simple to make, fragrant with the crushed fennel seeds, and spicy enough (I increased the cayenne to 1/2 teaspoon). I liked the fact too that most of the coating stuck to the potatoes and stayed there-they were beautiflly crunchy!
