Fajita Spiced Oven Potatoes

"This is my latest attempt at creating a tasty but fairly low fat 'fry'. I was aiming to have them be Mexican inspired which is why I went for the lime instead of lemon in the mix."

  • Put the cubed potatoes into bowl and stir around until the potatoes are well covered by the oil mixture.
  • Transfer to an foil covered baking tray and bake in the oven for between 25 and 30 minutes depending on the size of your cubes.
  • When they have gone golden brown, remove from the oven and serve.

  2. These were very good! I had to make them quickly and it's warm in the house and I didn't want to turn the oven on so.... I cut the potatoes and nuked them for 4 minutes, pan fried them for about 5 minutes in the oil and seasonings and then wrapped them in tin foil and let them stay warm with indirect heat on the BBQ while I made my chicken. D-LISH-US! I loved the flavour and we will definitely be having them again. Made for the Kitchen Witches for ZWT5. Thanks!
     
  3. Gracias por esta receta. I didn't have any fajita seasoning, so I used a mixture of Mexican oregano, garlic, cumin, and chili powder with ancho, cilantro, paprika, cayenne, lemon peel, turmeric, cinnamon, coriander, ginger, star anise, anise seed, cardamom, fennel, cloves and jalapeno. I didn't have any canola oil. so I used some avocado oil instead. I think I would prefer the taste of these without the skin. Made for the Epicurean Queens ZWT5: Mexico/Tex-Mex/Southwest region.
     
  4. Made these for Tex Mex / Mexico / Southwest region for ZWT5. Used wicked cook 46 's fajita mix - equal parts of cumin, chili powder, garlic and oregano. I used small red potatoes. They came out very good although I was expecting these to be more spicy.
     
  5. This was good and made for an easy side dish on fiesta night. I made this for zwt5.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am originally from the Philadelphia area of the United States but have been living in London, UK since 1996. I now have dual American and British citizenship. I became a widow at the age of 27 in 2004 but have managed to fall in love again and was married again on July 19, 2008. I have a double major honors degree in sociology and politics and am slowly working my way through a Masters. I am a wanabee writer but until that dream becomes a reality I work in internet marketing where I build websites for profit. So, it is nice to come to a site like this and just enjoy being on the internet rather than using it as a work environment. I am a BBW (big woman) but over the past two years I have lost over 80lbs and am working my way down the scales slowly but steadily. These days, I am trying to eat a lot less meat. So, I am trying to have as many vegetarian recipes in the week as I can manage. I have started a blog - <a href="http://weekendcarnivore.com/">Weekend Carnivore</a> where I blog about trying to eat a mostly vegetarian diet. I share a lot of my discovered recipes there. If I make one of your vegetarian recipes and I managed to take a good photo of it, chances are I will blog about it and tell everybody how much I enjoyed it. These are banners and buttons from Zaar events in which I have participated: <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=metermaids.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/metermaids.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap1/group14tomato.jpg> <img src=http://i335.photobucket.com/albums/m445/mliss29/vegnswap3/group07kiwi.jpg> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/cookbookZWT.jpg" border="0" alt="I am alw">
