Baked cumin - potato wedges
Regular white potatoes are cut into wedges, tossed in an olive oil - spice (predominantly cumin) mixture and baked. They have a firm and crisp exterior with softer / fluffier insides.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp cumin seeds, roasted and coarsely ground
- ¼ tsp turmeric powder
- ½ tsp salt
- a little less than ½ cup olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
- ½ tsp paprika
- 5 medium sized potatoes, cut into wedges (about 570 gms)
Instructions
- Pre heat the oven at 200 deg C (fan) and line a baking tray with parchment.
- Wash the potatoes, cut into wedges and place in a bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the rest of the ingredients.
- Pour the olive oil mixture onto the potatoes and toss / mix well together.
- Arrange the potatoes in a single layer, skin side down. Make sure the potato pieces are not sticking to each other.
- Place the tray in the centre of the pre heated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Do keep an eye on them so that they don't burn.
- Serve hot as a side dish or as a snack.
