Spicy Indian Potato Wedges

Submitted by Pie Queen

"I use red potatoes for this since I prefer the waxy taste, you can substitute for russet if you like a more floury texture. I serve these with my parmesan peppercorn dressing Recipe #274443. EDIT: If you prefer crunchy potatoes, you can increase the temperature to 400-450F half way through."

I was looking for something to go along with recipe #332488 and this made for a great accompaniment. I too would have liked a little more crispness. If I make again I would probably mix the spices with some olive oil and then coat the potatoes so they have a bit of crunch when cooked.

We thought these were good but would have preferred them to be a bit crisper. They had a nice spicy flavor that I think would be good with many Indian foods. Thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful side dish. I did cut the recipe in half and kept the spice amounts the same with the exception of the salt which I cut in half for personal preference. I cooked them at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes and they were wonderful, if a little dry. I will definitely be making these again. Thanks for posting!

123 Hit Wonders 2008 ~ We make a lot of roasted potatoes and I'm always looking for different spices to use on them. This was a nice mix of flavors although I have to agree with the other reviewer that I wish they were a bit more crispy. Nevertheless, they were tasty. Thanks PQ!
