Ingredients

  • 6 yellow potatoes, cut into thin wedges About 7 cups
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil

  • Roast the potatoes in the oven for 40 minutes. After 20 minutes, flip the potatoes so they get browned on both sides.
  • While the potatoes roast, make the lemon Greek yogurt sauce: put the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon rind, juice from 1-2 lemons (about 2 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice), oregano and a few good turns of fresh ground pepper into a small bowl. Whisk with a fork until combined. Set aside and leave at room temperature.
  • Once the potatoes are done, serve them right away and drizzle with the lemon yogurt sauce.
