--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4      large         white potatoes, unpared, scrubbed
                        boiling, salted water
     1/2  teaspoon      salt
     1/4  teaspoon      ground white pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      ground black pepper
     1/4  teaspoon      onion powder
     1/4  teaspoon      garlic powder
     1/8  teaspoon      ground cumin
     1/8  teaspoon      ground cayenne pepper
   2      cups          oil for frying

Preparation:

Cut the potatoes into 1" cubes. Add to boiling salted water. Cook just until fork tender but not mushy, about 7 minutes. Drain and cool. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the salt, peppers, onion and garlic power, cumin and cayenne pepper. Add the potatoes to the spices. Toss to coat all pieces evenly. You may do this much in advance and hold the potatoes as long as an hour before completing the dish. Heat about 1" oil in a wok or deep skillet to about 350F or until a piece of potato sizzles when added to the oil. Add the potatoes. Fry until golden brown on all sides, turning frequently. Remove from fat, drain and serve immediately.
