Spiced Up Potatoes Food

SPICY POTATOES

Steps:

• For the potatoes, preheat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
• Cut the potatoes into 2-3cm/1in squared cubes. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and blanch the potatoes for 2-3 minutes to begin cooking. Drain well.
• Heat the oil in a large roasting tray on the hob and add the potatoes, tossing to coat in oil until browned. Season well.
• Roast in the oven for 40-50 minutes until crisp and golden and cooked through.
• Once roasted, add the spices to the oil.
• Toss potatoes in the tempered spices and serve.

CRISPY SPICED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes; do not peel.
• Cut each potato into half and then into 4 wedges. If potatoes are small, cut in half and then into 2 wedges.
• Place potatoes in a pan and cover with water.
• Cover pan and bring to boil; cook for 10 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, combine vegetable oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
• When potatoes are cooked, drain and toss in the seasoning mix while still warm.
• At this point potatoes can be held up to 3 hours at room temperature before proceeding.
• Prepare baking sheet with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until golden brown.
• Serve immediately.

SPICED-UP POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Spread out the potato chips on 2 baking sheets. Bake until hot, oily-looking and slightly golden, about 10 minutes. Dump the chips into a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, mix the garlic salt, paprika, cayenne and 1 tablespoon black pepper in a small bowl. Sprinkle on the hot chips and gently toss.

SPICED UP POTATO CHIPS

Steps:

• Scrub the potatoes under water until totally clean. Use a mandolin or Japanese slicer to slice the potatoes as thinly as possible. As you slice them, submerge them in cold water and set aside. Mix together the garlic salt, paprika, black pepper, cayenne and salt in a small bowl and set aside.
• In 2 heavy Dutch ovens, heat some vegetable oil to 375 degrees F (use a thermometer to keep the temp right!). Lay the potatoes on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and blot them with more paper towels to dry completely.
• Lower batches of potatoes into the oil using a spatula. They will fry very quickly, about 1 1/2 minutes; remove with a spatula when they're nice and golden and crisp. Immediately sprinkle on the spice mix. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes!

SPICY ROAST POTATOES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Boil the potatoes for 5 mins. Drain well, place back in the pan, cover with a lid and shake vigorously to lightly roughen up the edges.
• Meanwhile, grind the spices using a pestle and mortar until lightly crushed, then mix with the oil. Put the spice mix in a roasting tin and place in the oven to heat up. Carefully put the potatoes into the roasting tin, tossing them in the hot oil and spice mixture. Roast in the oven for 40-45 mins or until crisp and golden, turning once or twice during cooking.

SPICY POTATOES

Steps:

• Cover the potatoes in cold salted water, then bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins, until just tender. Drain and allow to steam dry for a few mins. Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the spices for 1 min until fragrant. Tip in the potatoes and toss well so they are coated in the spices. Gently fry for 5-10 mins until slightly golden, then add peas, mix well and cook for 3-4 mins more. Season well before serving.

SPICED FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for about 30 minutes, let cool.
• Cut into 1/2" cubes (or larger- I like to leave the skin on).
• Melt the butter in a heavy skillet, at least 12", cast iron if you have it.
• Add 1/4 of the potatoes, the spices, then the rest of the potatoes.
• Turn them periodically, and fry til golden brown.
• While the potatoes are frying, chop up the onion fairly small.
• When the potatoes are done, add the onions and fry 10 minutes more.
