Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Fan 180°C/Gas Mark 6. Wash the potatoes and cut into wedges. Put into a bowl and add the oil and toss well together. Spread out on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 20–30 mins until golden brown and cooked through. Turn the wedges over a couple of times during cooking.
- Put all the remaining ingredients, except the yogurt and lemon juice, into a bowl and mix well together. Divide the mixture into eight and shape into ovals. Thread onto skewers.

- Serve the koftas with the potato wedges and plain yogurt with lemon juice.
Top Tip for making Lamb koftas with potato wedges
If you are using wooden skewers soak them in cold water for about 30 mins before using so they don’t burn under a hot grill or on a barbeque.
