Roasted potato wedges with cilantro lime mayonnaise is a delightful dish that combines crispy, golden-brown potato wedges with a zesty, creamy dipping sauce. This recipe is perfect for a flavorful appetizer or a comforting side dish. The combination of fresh lime, earthy cumin, and fragrant coriander makes this dish a unique and tasty addition to your meal.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil to prevent the potatoes from sticking.
Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. No need to peel them unless you prefer. Cut the potatoes into even-sized wedges for cooking consistency.
In a large bowl, toss the potato wedges with the olive oil, ground cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overcrowded to ensure they roast evenly. Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
While the potatoes are roasting, combine the light sour cream and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and finely chopped cilantro. Zest the lime and add the zest to the mixture, reserving some zest for garnish if desired. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Once the potato wedges are golden and crispy, remove them from the oven. Serve hot, with the cilantro lime mayonnaise on the side for dipping. Garnish with any reserved lime zest and additional chopped cilantro, if desired.
With its enticing flavors and satisfying textures, roasted potato wedges with cilantro lime mayonnaise is a dish that's sure to impress. The crispy, seasoned wedges paired with the tangy, creamy sauce create a culinary experience that's both comforting and refreshing. Whether you're serving it as a side dish or a crowd-pleasing appetizer, this recipe is destined to become a favorite in your kitchen.
Roasted potato wedges with cilantro lime mayonnaise FAQ:
Roast the potato wedges at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway through to ensure they cook evenly and achieve that crispy texture.
The potato wedges are done when they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. You can check for doneness by piercing a wedge with a fork; it should be tender inside.
Yes, you can use other types of potatoes such as sweet potatoes or Yukon Golds, but cooking times may vary slightly based on the potato type. Adjust as needed until they are crispy and tender.
Store leftover potato wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in an oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10-15 minutes for best results.
You can substitute plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt for the sour cream, which will yield a similar creamy texture and taste in the dipping sauce.
