Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Peruvian potatoes (such as Purple or Yellow Peruvian Potatoes)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Ripe avocados
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 0.5 medium Jalapeño pepper, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash the Peruvian potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.
Cut the potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on their size, to ensure even cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Spread the potatoes out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Roast the potatoes in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy on the edges.
While the potatoes are roasting, prepare the avocado dip.
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice, cilantro, Greek yogurt, finely chopped jalapeño, salt (about 1/4 teaspoon or to taste), and black pepper to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Transfer the avocado dip to a serving bowl and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Arrange the warm potatoes on a serving platter alongside the avocado dip and garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
