 Categories: Low-fat, Snacks, Indian
      Yield: 8 appetizer
 
      2 lb Potatoes; peeled
      2 ts Olive oil
    1/4 ts Ground turmeric
    1/2 ts Ground cumin
    1/2 ts Ground coriander
    1/2 ts Red pepper powder
    1/4 ts Salt

  The fragrant hit of turmeric, cumin, coriander and red pepper powder
  adds a delectable touch to these crispy oven-fried potatoes. They are
  delicious as part of a meal or as a snack and are a favorite Indian
  treat.
  
  Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Slice the potatoes lengthwise into
  1/2-inch slices.  Cut the slices lengthwise into 1/2-inch-wide fries.
  Soak the potatoes in cold water for 5 minutes.  Drain the potatoes
  and dry thoroughly between dish towels.
  
  In a bowl, combine the oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander and red pepper
  powder.  Add the potatoes and toss to coat. Arrange the potatoes in a
  single layer or a non-stick baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 20
  minutes or until the potatoes start to brown.  Remove the baking
  sheet from the oven.   Turn the potatoes over and bake them for 15 to
  20 minutes more or until the potatoes are cooked and have a deep
  golden-brown crust. Remove from oven.  Sprinkle with salt and black
  pepper; if desired. Serve immediately.
