Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a large pot of salted water over medium-high heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook until just fork-tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a baking sheet. Let rest for 10 minutes; this will allow the potatoes to steam and release excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix the sea salt, pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne and onion powder.
- Fill a large Dutch oven with 2 inches of oil and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Carefully add half the potatoes and fry until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Right before removing the potatoes, add a sprig of rosemary and half the sliced garlic to the oil and cook for 15 seconds. With a fine-mesh strainer, remove the batch to a medium bowl. Toss with half of the seasoning mix, then transfer to a paper towel-line baking sheet to drain. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, rosemary, garlic and seasoning mix.

SPICED FRIED POTATOES
Almost utterly changed from a recipe in "Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home". The recipe originated in the "Chronicles" trilogy, by M. Weis and T. Hickman. The original recipe made by fans called for only cayenne. A recent book mentioned a garlic scent. This version is GOOD. I loved it. Everyone who entered the house loved the smell. I used about 2 tbsp jar garlic, and estimated amounts on the other spices. This does take a good while to fry, so if you use it in a meal, make it first. In my experience, with a 1.5" layer of potatoes, it takes a bit more than half an hour to fry them. It takes much longer to fry them if you don't boil first. I also tend to use quite a bit of pepper, usually a mix of cayenne and habanero. The servings depend on how good they smell. I can eat the whole recipe with no problem, though they are an excellent side dish. Please don't forget to adjust the spices to your taste. Especially the garlic.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: Use firm, waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold, Red Bliss, or New Potatoes. These hold their shape well and have a creamy texture when fried.
- Cut Potatoes Evenly: Cut potatoes into uniform sizes and shapes so they cook evenly. For fries, cut them into 1/2-inch thick strips. For wedges, cut them into 1-inch thick wedges.
- Soak Potatoes in Water: Soaking potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes before frying removes excess starch and helps them crisp up. Pat dry thoroughly before frying.
- Use a Good Quality Oil: Choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil. Olive oil is not suitable for frying as it burns easily.
- Fry Potatoes in Batches: Don't overcrowd the pan when frying potatoes. Fry them in batches so they have enough space to crisp up and cook evenly.
- Season Potatoes Generously: Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, and your desired spices before frying. This will enhance their flavor and make them more delicious.
Conclusion:
Frying potatoes is an easy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. With the right technique and a flavorful spice mix, you can create crispy, golden brown potatoes that are perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different spice combinations to find your favorite flavor profile. Whether you prefer a classic blend of garlic and paprika or something more adventurous like chili powder and cumin, there's a spice mix out there to suit every taste.
