Ingredients
some floury potatoes, suitable for roasting - mine were Maris Pipers
spray oil
For the spicy coating
equal amounts of smoked paprika, garam masala and garlic salt, mixed together
Method:
I didn't peel the potatoes as they were sound apart from a few sprouts which I rubbed off.
Cut the potatoes into wedges.
Steam cook them for about seven minutes. I prefer to steam than to boil as they don't end up so wet. It's like par-boiling them.
Spread them out to steam dry and cool.
When they are cooler, put them in a bag with the spice mix and gently toss them in the mix until coated.
Spread them out on a tray that will fit into your freezer with parchment underneath tp prevent them sticking. Cover with cling film and open freeze until hard. Then pop them into a labelled bag.
To cook, preheat the oven to about 180C (fan) and spread out what you want on an oven tray (I do it on parchment as it makes the tray a lot easier to clean afterwards and prevents sticking.
Spray with oil - I have a spray oil gizmo that I find incredibly useful - see below.
Bake until cooked and nice and brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve immediately.
They really are tasty and so much better value than the ones you buy. You can do a whole lot at a time and you can ring the changes with the spices. I might do a bit of research and pick up some other ideas
And here's the oil gizmo with a link, although I am sure you can buy them elsewhere too. I'm going to get another one for my olive oil as the one I have is for veg oil. There's no excess use of the oil, making it a frugal and health aid.
I ought to add that I'm a great fan of Lakeland produce but I have no commercial links with them. I haven't been asked to do any kind of review and I bought my own sprayer quite a while ago now.
