Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. You can peel them if you prefer, but keeping the skin on adds extra texture and flavor.
- Cut each potato into wedges. Aim for uniform size to ensure even cooking.
- Place the potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
- Add 1/4 cup of olive oil, rosemary, sliced red hot chili peppers, and a dash of salt to the bowl.
- Toss the potatoes until they are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning.
- Arrange the seasoned potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they are crispy and golden brown. Flip the wedges halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.
- While the potatoes are baking, prepare the creamy garlic lemon dip.
- In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk, minced garlic cloves, mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Slowly drizzle in the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil while whisking vigorously until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
- Once the potato wedges are crispy and cooked through, remove them from the oven.
- Serve the spicy potato wedges hot, accompanied by the creamy garlic lemon dip.
Tips:
- For extra crispy wedges, soak the cut potatoes in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Drain and pat them dry thoroughly before proceeding with the recipe.
- Be sure to cut the potatoes into evenly-sized wedges to ensure they cook uniformly.
- If you prefer a milder spice level, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds before chopping.
- Serving these wedges with a homemade garlic aioli or a zesty lemon dip can enhance the flavors even more.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like paprika, cumin, or thyme to customize the wedges to your liking.
Enjoy your perfectly cooked spicy potato wedges as a tasty side dish or as a satisfying snack. The combination of zesty lemon, spicy chili peppers, and aromatic rosemary creates an unbeatable flavor profile. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauces and share them with friends and family for a truly delightful experience.
