CRISPY SPICED POTATOES

Steps:

• Scrub potatoes; do not peel.
• Cut each potato into half and then into 4 wedges. If potatoes are small, cut in half and then into 2 wedges.
• Place potatoes in a pan and cover with water.
• Cover pan and bring to boil; cook for 10 minutes.
• While potatoes are cooking, combine vegetable oil, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl.
• When potatoes are cooked, drain and toss in the seasoning mix while still warm.
• At this point potatoes can be held up to 3 hours at room temperature before proceeding.
• Prepare baking sheet with nonstick vegetable spray.
• Arrange potatoes in a single layer.
• Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes until golden brown.

CRISPY SPICED POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• Combine potatoes, 1/4 cup salt, and 3 qt. cold water in a 5-7-qt. pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cook until just fork-tender, 2-3 minutes. Drain, arrange in a single layer on a large plate, and chill until cold, about 20 minutes (handle potatoes delicately; they will be fragile until chilled).
• Pour oil into a wide heavy pot to a depth of 2". Heat over medium-high until deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F.
• Meanwhile, coarsely crush 1 Tbsp. mustard seeds. Combine flour, cornstarch, 2 Tbsp. paprika, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. salt, crushed mustard seeds, and remaining whole mustard seeds in a large bowl. Combine buttermilk and chilled potatoes in another large bowl. Dredge potatoes in flour mixture, then transfer to a plate as you go.
• Working in two batches, fry wedges, turning once halfway through, until crisp, 6-8 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to a serving platter, then season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
