Crispy Baked Potato Wedges with Ethiopian Spices
This is a new favorite potato dish, inspired by Ethiopian cuisine and a quick gem to put together. The key element of this dish is berbere, an Ethiopian hot and peppery spice blend consisting of an array of spices, most commonly chilies, fenugreek, holy basil, paprika, coriander, cardamom, allspice, cumin, peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, and ajwain seeds … and it makes everything for those of us enjoying some spice in our lives even spicier and emphatically more satisfying. Often compared to curry powder, it is really quite unique and I would recommend it highly for those wishing to explore Ethiopian cuisine, as berbere is an essential component in the vast and unique variety of dishes from that region.
