Spicy-Sesame Oven Fried Potatoes
"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! -
Wow, the french fries were awesome served this way. I love sesames and they certainly don't disappoint in this dish. The fries were perfection: crisp and tender, full of flavor. I used peanut oi. Thanks for sharing your recipe Bergy. You will forever be missed. RIP -
Excellent, DH loved it. My 4 year old thought it was too hot. Thanks!! -
I love potatoes any way! These baked up very nice, golden brown, a nice bit of spice and the sesame seeds really gave it some extra umphft.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
