CAJUN POTATO WEDGES

Beautiful potato wedges made with young, Yukon Gold potatoes. I found this recipe on a grocery store display.

Provided by Chef Mumsie Moskal

Categories     Potato

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 large unpeeled potatoes, cut into wedges
1 lemon, cut into wedges
8 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 sweet onion, peeled and cut lengthwise through the root end into small wedges
4 bay leaves
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
salt and pepper (preferably sea salt)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano (when in season, use fresh hot and spicy oregano and double the amount)
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
4 tablespoons olive oil

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for crispy potato wedges because they have a high starch content, which helps them to crisp up in the oven. Avoid waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or red potatoes, as they will not crisp up as well.
  • Cut the potatoes into even wedges: This will help them to cook evenly. Cut the potatoes lengthwise into quarters, then cut each quarter into three wedges.
  • Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes: This will help to remove some of the starch from the potatoes, which will also help them to crisp up. Be sure to dry the potato wedges thoroughly before seasoning them.
  • Season the potato wedges liberally with Cajun seasoning: This will give them a delicious flavor. You can use your favorite Cajun seasoning blend, or you can make your own by combining paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.
  • Bake the potato wedges in a hot oven: This will help them to crisp up. Bake the potato wedges at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve the potato wedges with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, ketchup, or barbecue sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Crispy Cajun potato wedges are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make crispy Cajun potato wedges that everyone will love.
