i love potatoes.

A few years ago, newly vegan, I went to Spain and I had a lot of difficulty with my menu options...the choices consisted of mostly things I did not eat: seafood, HAM, cheese, HAM, egg, HAM. So, I ate a lot of potatoes. Delicious delicious potatoes. The following recipe is something I made for my sister's Spanish themed birthday a few weeks ago, and they were a huge success. I made them again tonight, with a vegan aioli...just as delicious as I remember.

Spicy Spanish Potatoes

Ingredients:

In a medium bowl mix together paprika, cumin, cayenne and salt, set aside. Slice each potato into 8-12 even wedges. Pan fry the potato wedges until the outsides are brown and crispy. Immediately toss the potatoes together with the seasoning. Serve warm with vegan aioli.
