Greek Tzatziki with Roasted Potatoes

I love serving tzatziki with warm roasted potatoes because the contrast is so good: cool, creamy yogurt and cucumber against hot, crisp potatoes. It is casual enough for a snack but pretty enough to put out when friends come over.

The recipe

Ingredients

For the Tzatziki

For the Roasted Potatoes

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 425°F.

  2. 2

    Toss the potatoes with olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Arrange cut-side down on a baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes, turning once, until deeply golden and tender.

  4. 4

    While the potatoes roast, squeeze as much moisture as possible from the grated cucumber using a clean kitchen towel.

  5. 5

    Mix the cucumber with the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, dill, mint, salt and pepper.

  6. 6

    Chill the tzatziki until the potatoes are ready.

  7. 7

    Serve the hot roasted potatoes with the cool tzatziki and lemon wedges.

Notes

For the crispest potatoes, place them cut-side down and leave a little space between each one.
