Potato Wedges

Lime Crema

Sweet-Chili-Chipotle Dipping Sauce

Method

Potato Wedges

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Wash and scrub the russet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into wedges (about 8 wedges per potato).

  2. 2

    Soak the Wedges

    Place the potato wedges in a bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and will result in crispier fries.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Potatoes

    Drain the potato wedges and pat them dry with paper towels. Fry the potato wedges in batches for about 4-6 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Season the Wedges

    While the wedges are still hot, sprinkle them with Tajin seasoning, garlic powder, and salt. Toss to coat evenly.

Lime Crema

  1. 6

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, lime juice, lime zest, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until smooth.

  2. 7

    Chill

    Cover the lime crema and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Sweet-Chili-Chipotle Dipping Sauce

  1. 8

    Combine the Sauces

    In a bowl, mix together the sweet chili sauce, chipotle powder, and garlic powder until well combined.

  2. 9

    Serve

    Transfer the dipping sauce to a small serving bowl.
