Ingredients
Scale
For the Potato Wedges:
- 2 lbs. baby red potatoes (quartered into wedges)
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh chopped dill
- Zest of 1 lemon
For the Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the quartered baby red potatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, dried rosemary, garlic powder, paprika, Kosher salt, and cracked pepper. Make sure the potatoes are thoroughly covered with the seasoning blend.
- Roast the Potatoes: Arrange the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
- Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: While the potatoes are roasting, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh chopped dill, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and well combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Finish the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are crispy, remove them from the oven and sprinkle with the fresh chopped dill and lemon zest.
- Serve with Yogurt Sauce: Serve the hot Greek potato wedges with the chilled yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, soak the potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning. Pat them dry thoroughly.
- Adjust the herbs and spices to your taste preference.
- Leftover yogurt sauce can be used as a dip for veggies or as a spread for sandwiches.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the potatoes in the oven to restore crispiness.
