Slice and Season the Potatoes:

Into the Oven:
- By now, your baking tray should be nice and hot from its oven staycation.
- Carefully place the seasoned wedges onto the trayโthey can cozy up to each other, no need to spread them out too much.
- Slide the tray back into the oven and let those wedges roast for a good 30 to 35 minutes. ๐

Whip Up the Minty Yoghurt Dip:
- While the wedges work their magic in the oven, let’s make that refreshing dip!
- In a bowl, combine the chopped fresh mint, minced garlic, yoghurt, and a pinch of salt. Mix it all together until it’s smooth and oh-so-creamy.
