What is a good spicy potato wedges seasoning?
I've taken a liking to the simple potato wedge as an alternate to mash potato when preparing meat and three vege. However, I'm trying to get a recipe that consistently deliveries tasty wedges.
My current method is:
- Wash potatoes
- Chop potatoes
- place in plastic bag
- Add a little oil and spice mix*
- Shake
- Bake
* The spice mix is the part I've been having problems with.
I was using:
- 1 part salt
- 2 parts pepper
- 3 parts paprika
But this wasn't giving consistent results.
I've stuck with Nandos Peri-peri seasoning for a while as a safeguard, but I'd like to go back to my own spice mix.
I'm looking for spicy Mexican flavours, but using only spices/herbs, and not salts or flavour enhancers, apart from sea salt (not garlic salt or onion salt).
Any suggestions?

Add cumin, chili powder and garlic powder to your salt and pepper. You might like a bit of curry powder or turmeric too, but I don't know if you'd call that a Mexican flavor.

Answer 2
I once mistakenly used ground cayenne pepper rather than paprika when frying some shrimp, and the result was a taste explosion!
I would recommend substituting half of the paprika for ground cayenne.
Answer 3
Try a little Rosemary and Thyme, Garlic, Cajun spice. All of those are great on potatoes!
Answer 4
I recently had them with Dijon mustard as a spice, and it turned out really nice.
