Cumin Roasted Potatoes

These potatoes are great alongside dishes that have a similar flavor profile. This week I made them to go with my Mexican Frittata and it was a very satisfying meal. Roasting potatoes at this high heat creates a perfectly cooked outside and a soft center in a fairly short amount of time. You can try any flavor combinations that sound good.

Ingredients:

4 large russet potatoes, washed and cut into wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp oregano

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 500 degrees.

Wash and slice the potatoes into wedges. Once the potatoes are al cut, use a paper towel to remove any moisture from them. Then drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and toss to coat them evenly. Then add all the spices (salt, garlic powder, cumin, and oregano) and toss again. Spread the wedges evenly on a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, turning them over halfway through. At 20 minutes check to see if the larger pieces are done, if not then return them to the oven and check every 5 minutes.
