Ingredients:

Serving

4 large unpeeled potatoes, cut into wedges
1 lemon, cut into wedges
8 whole garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 sweet onion, peeled and cut lengthwise through the root end into small wedges
4 bay leaves
3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 tbsp water
1 tbsp tomato paste
salt and pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp dried oregano ( when in season, use fresh hot
1 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp ground cumin
4 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400° or heat the barbecue.
Place potato wedges in saucepan and cover with cold water, add 1 tsp of salt and bring to a boil cooking for only 3-5 minutes.
Drain well and place in a roasting pan with the lemon wedges, garlic, onions and bay leaves. (for barbecue, make a pan frame of foil large enough to hold all the potatoes, spray or brush with oil and place the same ingredients in).
Combine the lemon juice, water and tomato paste in a small bowl and add the spices and herbs and mix together well. Pour the spice mixture over the potatoes in the pan (foil) and toss together lightly.
Drizzle oil over top and cook in preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and all the liquid has been absorbed. Turn the mixture frequently with a metal spatula.
Potatoes should be slightly crispy and brown and red in colour.
Can be served on it's own as an appetizer with dip, or with meat and poultry.
