Boma's Potatoes with Afritude recipe

[piratesmate]

DS (20) really liked these and specifically asked me to request the recipe. Who would have thought that these were the only spices in it????

BTW - On some days while we were there, these potatoes also had large wedges of onion and green/red pepper in with them. At least that's what we remember. I wonder whether this is an evolving recipe, or just "whatever they have on hand" recipe?

POTATOES WITH AFRITUDE


Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients:

5 lbs. Red Skinned Potatoes (any variety of potato may be used)
2 ounces Olive Oil
3 T. Curry Powder
2 T. Turmeric
1 T. Garlic Powder
1 T. Paprika
To taste Salt and Pepper



Method:

Wash potatoes well, and cut into wedges. In a large bowl mix the spices and olive oil. Add the raw potatoes. Coat the potatoes with the spice mixture. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet, place in a preheated 350o oven and bake for 30 minutes.

Oh this sounds good and very easy to make. It reminds me of the soup mix potatoes that were the big hit a couple of years ago. The good thing about this version is that the salt level will be alot less.

We don't use much salt - at least not compared to our parents' cooking! However, potatoes are one thing on/in which I almost always put salt. When we had these at Boma's, I never thought about it. Either they have a heavy hand on the salt, or the other spices make up for it. I hope it's the latter!

I remember my grandfather salting everything he ate without even tasting it first! He would just pick up the salt shaker and start shaking.

But Piratesmate I would think with that blend of spices that the potatoes wouldn't need much added salt.
