Yield: 4-6 servings
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Tips: Golden potatoes may also be used, though red potatoes provide added color. Dollops of sour cream may be used instead of Raita, if desired.
Suggestion: Delicious served as a side dish to most any meat or seafood dish.
Potatoes
Heat oven to 475° F.
Potatoes
Gently scrub potatoes under running water, then cut into long wedges (about 1/2 to 5/8-inch-thick at widest parts). Blot dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a small mixing bowl, stir together with a fork salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, dill and thyme. In a separate large mixing bowl, stir together with a fork oil and mustard. Add potato wedges to oil and mustard mixture and toss with a rubber spatula to thoroughly coat. Sprinkle herb mixture over the top of potatoes, then toss again until evenly coated.
Place potatoes, skin sides down, on a greased baking sheet (either brush baking sheet with oil or spray with non-stick spray). Bake for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender (a toothpick inserted into thickest part of a few potato wedges should easily slide through).
Raita
Squeeze grated cucumber over a small bowl to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard liquid. Mix grated cucumber with remaining Raita ingredients.
Garnish
Arrange potatoes on a serving platter. Dollop or drizzle with Raita, then sprinkle with feta cheese and chopped parsley.
