French fries are trouble. I used to waitress in college and french fries were my nemesis. It’s literally impossible for me to stop eating them and I gained five pounds within the first few months of starting.

These spicy potato skins bring me back to my service industry days. Not only do they taste great and with just a bit of oil and absolutely no frying, but they also aren’t quite as bad for you either. Good thing, because they are just as hard to resist as a plateful of fries.

Making Spicy Potato Skins

By using a traditional Portuguese spice blend to season them, I gave these potatoes a fun twist. This spice blend gives them this really fun extra kick of flavor. Serve them with a two-ingredient spicy greek yogurt dip that is a fun contrast of cool creaminess with an unexpected kick of its own.

Wine That Pairs Well With Spicy Side Dishes

As with the other recipes in my Vinho Verde wine series, I’ve chosen a bottle of wine for you to enjoy as you eat these spicy potato wedges. Portal da Calçada from Adegado Salvador is just one more example of a fantastic value wine from the Vinho Verde region. The best Alvarinho, Loureiro, and Arinto grapes on the vineyard’s property were carefully selected, destemmed and gently pressed. They are then aged for 9 months in French oak barrels resulting in an elegant and persistent aroma with a great minerality that holds up well against the Portuguese seasoning mix.

With crisp acidity and just 12% ABV, it’s a great wine for drinking outdoors with a summer meal. If you’re looking for a refreshing and versatile summer wine, look no further.
