- Juice of ½ lime
- Pinch of salt, for the dip
⏱ Timings
- Preparation: 15 minutes
- Cooking: 40–45 minutes
- Serves: 4–6
🍳 How to Make Mexican Ranch Potato Wedges
- Preheat the oven to 210°C fan and place a large roasting tray inside to heat.
- Cut each potato into even wedges. Simmer in salted water for 5 minutes, then drain very well.
- Return the wedges to the dry saucepan and shake gently to roughen the edges.
- Toss with the oil, Mexican Ranch Rub and salt. Carefully spread onto the hot tray in one layer.
- Roast for 20 minutes, turn and roast for another 20–25 minutes until deeply golden.
- Blend or mash the avocado with the yoghurt, lime juice and salt. Serve immediately with the hot wedges.
🍔 Serving Suggestions
Serve with burgers, grilled chicken or a large salad. They are also brilliant on a sharing board with salsa and crunchy vegetables.
✨ Why This Recipe Works
Brief parboiling cooks the centres and roughens the surface, creating more crisp edges. A preheated tray starts browning immediately rather than allowing the wedges to steam.
