Salt and pepper are old hat. It’s time for a makeover. This refresh doesn’t happen at the salon, though. Instead, you’ll be shaking up your spice cabinet to include a mix of powerful, taste-bud-teasing flavors that probably haven’t seen the light of a gas flame in ages. The end result is a beautiful masala seasoning for your favorite potatoes. Traditionally, masala is a combination of cumin, coriander, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, peppercorns and bay leaf. But you’ll simplify the seasoning for this recipe, which is perfect for the holidays or large family gatherings.
