Recipe
First you need to properly process the vegetable. Rinse the tubers thoroughly with a soft brush. The peel must be kept intact, but cleaned of any dirt. Do not soak the product in water. Otherwise, it is saturated with liquid, and the dish will not work out as it should be. When the cleansing procedure is complete, cut each tuber into 8 parts. They should be about the same size.
Place the product in a deep bowl and set it aside. Make a spice mix at this time. Pour vegetable oil into a container and salt. Add half a teaspoon of curry, twice as much seasoning for potatoes, and mix everything thoroughly. There it is necessary to squeeze garlic juice. You can do this with a special garlic press or a meat grinder.
Pour the potatoes with the prepared seasoning mixture and mix the slices by hand. All parts of the vegetable should be covered with cooked dressing.
Oven baking
The next step will be direct heat treatment. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Put potato wedges on a baking sheet one by one. Lay them so that the peel looks down.
Fill the product with the remaining oil with spices and put in the oven for half an hour. You must constantly monitor the dish. When the vegetable is covered with a golden crisp, it is necessary to get a baking sheet from the oven. Do not allow the corners of the lobules to burn. Reduce temperature if necessary.
After removing from the oven, let the oil drain from the cooked dish. Put the baked potato in a peasant's style on paper towels and wait five minutes. During this time, the entire oil composition is absorbed into the paper.
Cooking Garlic Sauce
When the “Selyansky Potato" dish in the oven is ready, you need to make a dressing. It is worth noting that such a product is best combined with garlic sauce. To make it, look for dried garlic on store shelves. It is he who will give the sauce an unforgettable aroma, from which your guests will simply “drool”.
In the absence of this seasoning, you can use ordinary garlic, it will not give such a flavor to the sauce, but the taste will not get worse.
Take mayonnaise and pour it into the bowl. Put sour cream there. Rinse the dill thoroughly and wipe it with a paper towel. No sauce should be present in the sauce. Finely chop the greens and pour into the white mass. Next, mix thoroughly. This can be done very quickly with a mixer or blender. If you do not have these devices, then use an ordinary whisk or fork.
Finely chop the garlic. Using garlic press in this case is not recommended. The slice must be divided into several parts and then cut into the smallest cubes. Add salt to the sauce and mix thoroughly.
