Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potato try to find evenly shaped ones, not too twisted or crooked
  • olive oil for brushing
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard seeds
  • 3/4 tsp salt sea salt
  • black pepper fresh cracked, to taste
  • 1 Serrano pepper thinly sliced, or jalapeño pepper

for the Lemongrass Dip:

  • 1 lemongrass 1 stalk
  • 3/4 cup crème fraîche Crema Mexicana, sour cream, or Greek yogurt
  • lime zest and juice of 1
  • 1 inch ginger peeled, piece
  • 1/2 tsp salt sea salt

Instructions

  1. Set the oven to 400F
  2. Wash the potatoes, but leave the skin on. Cut each one in half lengthwise, and then into half again, lengthwise. Cut the four wedges in half again, leaving you with 8 long wedges.
  3. Lay them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the wedges with olive oil, and then sprinkle with the coriander, coriander seeds, mustard seeds, salt and pepper.
  4. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes, until you can easily pierce the potato with a sharp knife.
  5. Scatter the hot pepper rings around the spears and serve with the sauce alongside.
  6. To make the sauce: Peel the outer layers from the stalk of lemongrass. Trim off the root end, and the green ends, so you are left with a short pale yellow piece of the stalk. Rough chop it and then put in the bowl of a small food processor. Put the ginger in with it and run the machine until both are as finely ground as you can get them.
  7. Stir in the lime juice and zest, creme fraiche, and salt. Taste and adjust the seasonings if you need to.
