For the cucumber dip

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F) using the top and bottom heat function.
  2. Wash the potatoes thoroughly; you can peel them if you prefer but leaving the skins on adds texture. Cut them into generous wedges.
  3. Place the wedges in a mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with bratkartoffelgewürz. Toss until evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking tray and roast for 35–40 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
Cucumber Dip
  1. While the wedges are baking, wash and slice the cucumber into thin rounds.
  2. In a bowl, mix sour cream and skyr until creamy and smooth. Fold in cucumber slices and fresh dill, seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serving
  1. Once the wedges are done, take them out of the oven, sprinkle with coarse salt, and serve hot with the cucumber dip.

Notes

For best results, cut the potatoes uniformly and avoid crowding the pan. Experiment with seasonings for a personalized touch.
