Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large potatoes (russet or Yukon Gold)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground coriander
- 0.75 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoons Garam masala
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 2 pieces Lime wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for added texture. Cut the potatoes into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, and then cutting each half into 3-4 wedges, depending on size.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, ground turmeric, ground cumin, ground coriander, red chili powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice marinade.
Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss thoroughly, making sure each wedge is evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges out onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they’re not overlapping for even cooking.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are crisp and golden.
Once the wedges are done, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro for garnish.
Serve hot with lime wedges on the side for a tangy citrus kick.
