Hi Nancy and Everyone, Thanks to Miss K/ABQ,NM for her information on the essential nutrients of potatoes (skins on) and their popularity. I recently came across this recipe that others may want to try. You can change spice ingredients to any of those Miss K offered, such as a dash of cayenne pepper (instead of turmeric), garlic and/or onion powder.

Spicy Oven Fries

6 tsp. olive oil, divided
1 tsp. turmeric
1 tsp. onion powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes

Arrange oven racks in upper and lower third of oven. Heat oven to 425? F. Lightly brush 2 large cookie sheets with 2 teaspoons oil.

Combine turmeric, onion powder, salt and pepper in cup.

Quarter the potatoes lengthwise, then cut each quarter into 4 long wedges. Blot dry with paper towels. Toss potatoes with remaining 4 teaspoons oil in large bowl. Sprinkle potatoes with half the spice mixture, turning potatoes gently with rubber spatula. Toss potatoes again with remaining spices until thoroughly coated on all sides. Divide and spread potatoes evenly on 2 large baking sheets.

Bake 24 to 28 minutes, switching pans halfway through, until potatoes are golden and crisp.
