Yum! This was excellent. I loved all the flavors in it. I messed up bc I mixed all the ingredients together. That means that the spices were more of a liquid so they didn't stick as well. I will be doing this recipe again soon. UPDATE: I did this again and found that despite all the spices it wasn't amazing. When I did it correctly I found that the spices caked on the potatoes. I think that a reduction in the "spicy" spices would allow the other ones to stand out. Also there is no salt in the recipe. Read More

There was nothing exceptional or delicious about the spices on these potatoes. They definitely needed salt the flavor was flat. And just on the random chance that someone with clear braces and/or "braces chains" reads this: the turmeric will badly and permanently STAIN them. (Ditto curry fellow braces wearers). Read More

Nice lightly spicy recipe but I agreed with reviewers that it needed salt (I added about 1/2 tsp. to the spices) and I probably will add some garlic powder too next time. I just lined my jelly roll pan with foil and sprayed that for easy clean up. Will definitely make again. Thanks for sharing. Read More

This is the recipe that made me finally break down and register... (every time I go searching for a recipe online I find the perfect one here.) This dish was wonderful but wished I'd added salt while tossing. I will next time. I cut them more like home fries and used a deep baking pan for about 6 servings and did the tossing right in the pan (a lot how I do a different roasted root veggies dish.) Came out great and was a big hit at our house! Yum! Read More

Made these exactly as written. Paired these gems with "kickin dippin fry sauce" from this site. Will be making both for sure. Read More

Needs egg so the spices will stick better. I was already committed to getting the spices on there so I had to use extra olive oil to make it work. Excellent flavor and they went over very well at dinner. Read More

was a nice taste but nothing incredible. i didnt use an egg instead i just coated the wedges in a little oil then sprinkled the mixed spices on top and it stuck well and made it easier. Read More

Looked interesting but I just didn't think there was enough flavor. I cut my potatoes into small cubes and made them to accompany mexican omletes for a brunch. I found the seasoning to be bland and not spicy at all. Read More

There is a LOT going on with these but we liked them. Mine started really browning up before they got extremely crisp but I think that was my fault because I scaled it way down since there is just the two of us and I must have used too much oil. Regardless of what happened there I refuse to give this less than 5 stars because the flavor was excellent! Thanks for the great recipe! Read More
