Ingredients
  • 24 small red potatoes, scrubbed, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 Cup plain nonfat yogurt (cheese)
  • 2/3 Cups minced cucumber
  • 1/4 Cups minced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf (italian) parsley
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint leaves, plus white leaves for garnish
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoons ground cardamom
  • 1pinches of salt
  • pinches of freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
  • Directions
  • 1.

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  • 2.

    Coat the bottom of a baking dish large enough to hold all the potatoes in one layer with olive oil. Roll the potatoes in the oil, drizzling more to lightly coat them if necessary. Scatter sesame seeds over the potatoes.

  • 3.

    Bake until the potatoes are light brown on the edges and tender to the point of a knife, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.

  • 4.

    To make the dip, in a bowl, whisk the yogurt cheese with the cucumber, onion, parsley, mint, coriander, cardamom, salt, pepper, and lime juice until blended. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Spoon the dip into a ramekin and refrigerate until serving time.
