Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Cut the potatoes into long wedges about 1-inch thick. Toss the potatoes with the olive oil and Cajun seasoning.
Heat an ovenproof large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the potatoes in a single layer. Cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Slowly add 1/4 cup water to the skillet and transfer the entire skillet to the oven.
Continue to cook the potatoes, turning once, until the potatoes are tender and the outsides are crisped, about 20 more minutes. Meanwhile, mix the yogurt with the mustard and a pinch salt.
Serve the potatoes warm with the mustard dipping sauce.
Recommended wine: Albarino, Rose Wine, Sauvignon Blanc
Cajun can be paired with Albarino, rosé Wine, and Sauvignon Blanc. These low-tannin, lower alcohol wines will complement the heat in spicy cajun dishes, instead of making your mouth burn more. The Neboan Albarino with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
Neboa Albarino
The cooler, higher elevation Condado do Tea subregion gives rise to a fresh, precise expression of Albariño in general and this particular site lends an intense mineral streak through the wine. A floral, blossomy nose with peach and apricot aromas which carry through on the palate with taut structure, complex fresh fruit, understated mid-palate weight, all on a strong backbone of mineral acidity.
