Ingredients

650g white potatoes (about 3, medium-size)

1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tsp dried thyme

For the Salsa Verde:

1 clove garlic
2 tsp capers

1 tbsp vinegar (apple cider, red/white wine)
Juice of ½ a lemon
A handful each of fresh basil leaves, coriander and spinach
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • Heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
  • Cut each potato into 8 equal-sized wedges and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the seasoning and lemon juice and give it all a good stir so that each wedge is coated.
  • Line a tray with parchment paper and arrange the wedges skin-side down.
  • Place on the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 40-50 minutes, turning once. If you think they are browning too much towards the end but not yet cooked through, cover with foil.
  • While the wedges are cooking, make the Salsa Verde. Place all the ingredients in a food processor and roughly blitz until you have a consistency you are happy with (I prefer it to not be over-processed).
  • If you don’t have a food processor, finely chop the ingredients and blend in a pestle and mortar. If it looks too dry add a little olive oil or extra lemon juice.
