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 potato wedges, as they are firm and hold their shape well during baking.
  • Cut the potatoes into even wedges: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before baking: This will help to remove excess starch and make the wedges crispier.
  • Toss the potato wedges with a little oil, salt, and pepper: This will help them to brown and develop flavor.
  • Bake the potato wedges at a high temperature: This will help them to get crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
  • Serve the potato wedges hot with your favorite dipping sauce:

For a classic Cajun flavor, try serving them with rémoulade sauce.

Conclusion:

Rajun Cajun potato wedges are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
