Gluten-Free Mojo Potatoes with Tangy Yogurt Sauce
When it comes to side dishes, there’s something truly special about the perfect potato—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and bursting with flavor. If you’re looking for a gluten-free option that ticks all these boxes, then these Mojo Potatoes are just what you need. Inspired by the classic combination of crunchy coatings and rich, savory flavors, this recipe takes simple potato wedges and elevates them into a dish that’s both comforting and exciting.
The secret to these potatoes lies in the blend of ingredients. We start with fresh, medium-sized potatoes, sliced into thick wedges or rounds. These are then dipped in a tangy yogurt mixture that not only helps the flavorful coating adhere but also adds a delightful hint of tartness to the final product. The coating itself is a mix of gluten-free chicken breading, smoky paprika, and just the right amount of sea salt, ensuring that every bite is packed with a satisfying crunch and a burst of seasoning.
But it doesn’t stop there. After frying the potatoes to a golden-brown perfection, they’re baked in the oven to ensure that they’re thoroughly cooked and irresistibly crispy. The result is a side dish that’s wonderfully versatile—pair it with anything from grilled meats to fresh salads, or enjoy it on its own as a delicious snack. The tangy yogurt sauce adds a refreshing contrast, making these Mojo Potatoes a dish that will keep everyone coming back for more.
