Steps
Steps
- 1Heat the oven to 220°C/425°F. Cut each potato lengthways into 6–8 wedges, leaving the skin on.
- 2Soak the wedges in cold water for 15 minutes, then drain and dry them thoroughly on a towel — surface starch and water are what stop them crisping.
- 3In a large bowl mix the oil, paprika, savory, salt and pepper and toss the wedges until every surface is coated.
- 4Spread them in a single layer on a large baking tray, skin side down, with space between them; use two trays if needed, because crowded wedges steam.
- 5Roast for 35–40 minutes, turning once halfway, until deep golden, crisp at the edges and soft inside.
- 6Meanwhile stir the yoghurt with the dill, the garlic for the sauce and a pinch of salt, and chill.
- 7Toss the hot wedges with the crushed garlic straight from the oven — added earlier, it would burn — and serve with the cold yoghurt sauce.
