Spicy potato wedges (potato fries)

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 16 medium-sized potatoes, waxy
• 6 tbsp corn flour or corn semolina (or both)
• 6 tsp paprika powder, mild
• 4 tsp onion powder
• 3 tsp cayenne pepper
• 5 tsp salt
• 8 tbsp oil (olive oil, other oils are also possible)

Instructions

Working time approx. 50 minutes; Total time approx. 50 minutes

Mix the spices (paprika powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, and cornflour) in a small bowl to create a dry powder. (This can also be prepared and stored in a spice shaker.) Wash the potatoes thoroughly (do not peel them!) and cut them into quarters or eighths, depending on their size. Pour the oil into a large bowl and toss the potatoes to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the dry powder over the potatoes and mix well. Reserve some of the powder if desired. Preheat the oven to approximately 180-200°C, line a baking sheet with baking paper, and arrange the potato wedges on it. Sprinkle the rest of the powder evenly over the powder, if desired. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. Serve with crème fraîche as a dip. Goes well with all meat dishes.
