Cutting potatoes into wedges makes for a lot of surfaces that will turn crisp and golden when roasted. A little seasoning transforms regular ketchup into an especially tasty condiment for these lightly spiced potatoes.

- 3 tbsp (45 mL) olive or vegetable oil
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) ground cumin
- 3/4 tsp (4 mL) dried oregano, crumbled
- Generous 1/4 tsp (1 mL) black pepper
- Pinch (approx) salt
- Chipotle Ketchup:
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) ketchup
