Fresh ground pepper
Instructions
Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut 6 potatoes into thin wedges. Spread out evenly on to the baking sheet. Drizzle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a little Kosher salt. Turn them with your hands to coat the potatoes.
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.
