Roasted Potatoes with Chipotle Powder

 

If you have chipotle flakes but no chipotle powder, grind the flakes

in a clean coffee grinder or spice mill. These are wonderful.

 

2 pounds medium Yukon Gold potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges

1/4 cup olive oil

1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle powder

2 large garlic cloves, minced

2/3 cup sour cream

4 teaspoons fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

lime wedges

 

Position rack in bottom third of oven and preheat to 400 degrees. Toss

potatoes and oil in bowl to coat. Transfer to large baking sheet, one

cut side down. Roast 15 minutes. Turn potatoes to expose other cut

side. Roast until golden brown and tender, about 15 minutes.

Sprinkle potatoes with 1 teaspoon chipotle powder, garlic, salt, and pepper,

toss to coat. Turn potatoes skin side down. Roast 10 minutes longer.

 

Meanwhile, stir sour cream, lime juice, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon

chipotle powder in medium bowl to blend. Season chipotle cream with salt and

pepper.

Arrange potatoes on platter. Sprinkle with cilantro. Serve, passing

chipotle cream and lime wedges separately.

Serves 4 to 6.
