Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Für ein optimales Ergebnis sollten die Kartoffelspalten möglichst gleichmäßig groß geschnitten werden, damit sie alle zur gleichen Zeit gar und knusprig werden. Die Maisstärke ist zwar optional, macht aber einen spürbaren Unterschied bei der Knusprigkeit der Kruste. Das Schütteln des Korbs in der Hälfte der Garzeit sorgt dafür, dass alle Seiten der Wedges gleichmäßig gebräunt werden. Den Dip ruhig schon zu Beginn zubereiten und kalt stellen – er schmeckt nach einer kurzen Ruhezeit noch aromatischer.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Süßkartoffeln eignen sich ebenfalls hervorragend für dieses Rezept – einfach die Garzeit entsprechend anpassen, da sie etwas schneller weich werden. Wer den Dip leichter mag, kann den griechischen Joghurt durch normalen Joghurt ersetzen. Für noch mehr Geschmack können die fertigen Wedges mit frisch gehackter Petersilie oder Schnittlauch bestreut werden. Das Gericht passt außerdem hervorragend zu gegrilltem Fleisch als Beilage oder auf einem Party-Buffet als Fingerfood.

Serviervorschläge

Die heißen Kartoffelspalten am besten direkt aus der Heißluftfritteuse servieren, während sie noch knusprig sind. Den Spring-Onion-Dip in einer kleinen Schüssel daneben stellen, sodass jeder nach Belieben dippen kann. Als Vorspeise oder Snack reicht die Menge für 4 Personen. Als Beilage zu gegrilltem Hähnchen, Steaks oder vegetarischen Burgern macht sich das Gericht ebenfalls ausgezeichnet. Für eine festliche Präsentation die Wedges auf einem großen Tablett anrichten und den Dip in der Mitte platzieren.
