I think roasted potato wedges were one of the dishes I first started cooking. It’s a good one to start with, because they are so incredibly easy. But can you believe that I used to just toss them with salt and pepper?! I mean, how boring is that? These days I like to mix it up a little more with different seasonings and spices. And although I do change it up every now and then, I usually come back to this Cajun spice mix. It’s got just a little bit of spice, but not so much that my spice-adverse daughter won’t eat them. And it’s a great way to wrap up Spice Week!
Just like all the other spices posted this week, you can make a big batch and just store it in an airtight container. When it comes time to use, just toss it with potato wedges and some olive oil in a large bowl before tossing them onto a pan sheet and into a hot oven. Almost as soon as you mix it, before they’ve even seen any actual heat, they turn a beautiful golden colour that promises you’re in a for a tasty dish.
