CAJUN POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° or heat the barbecue.
• Place potato wedges in saucepan and cover with cold water, add 1 tsp of salt and bring to a boil cooking for only 3-5 minutes.
• Drain well and place in a roasting pan with the lemon wedges, garlic, onions and bay leaves. (for barbecue, make a pan frame of foil large enough to hold all the potatoes, spray or brush with oil and place the same ingredients in).
• Combine the lemon juice, water and tomato paste in a small bowl and add the spices and herbs and mix together well. Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes in the pan (foil) and toss together lightly.
• Drizzle oil over top and cook in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Turn the mixture frequently with a metal spatula.
• Potatoes should be slightly crispy and brown and red in colour.
• Can be served on it's own as an appetizer with dip, or with meat and poultry.
