Party food is never quite the same without potato chips and dip, French fries with ketchup or tots so why not spice up those game day celebrations or sophisticated cocktail parties with my new recipe for Indian spiced potato wedges with curried Aioli. These fries are roasted in the oven with only a few tablespoons of oil and not fried so they are much healthier for you. You could also serve these as a great side dish with steak or burgers and wake up those sleepy weeknight dinners…Monday nights will never be the same. These have a great blend of Indian spices and a nice kick, so let’s get this party started.
