Method
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Toss the wedges with 3 tbsp of the oil and the garlic, season, and spread out in a roasting tin. Cover with foil and cook for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the potatoes with the cornflour and paprika. Roast for a further 35-40 minutes until browned and crisp at the edges, turning halfway through.
- Meanwhile, make the dip. Gently fry the onion in the remaining oil for 10 minutes until very soft. Increase the heat and cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes, until golden and crisp in places. Cool. Stir most of the chives, half the onion and a little seasoning into the sour cream. Scatter with the remaining caramelised onion and chives. Serve in a dipping bowl with the wedges.
