Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Greek yoghurt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Honey

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Wash the russet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each potato into wedges by first halving it lengthwise and then slicing each half into 4-6 wedges, depending on size.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the spice mixture.

Step 4

Add the potato wedges to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Arrange the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping to ensure even baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside and tender on the inside.

Step 7

While the wedges are baking, prepare the minty yoghurt dip. Finely chop the fresh mint leaves.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the Greek yoghurt, chopped mint, lemon juice, and honey. Stir well and adjust the flavor with more lemon juice or honey if desired.

Step 9

Remove the potato wedges from the oven and let them cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the spicy potato wedges warm with the minty yoghurt dip on the side for dipping.
