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?

Try a little Rosemary and Thyme, Garlic, Cajun spice. All of those are great on potatoes!

I recently had them with Dijon mustard as a spice, and it turned out really nice.

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.

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.
