Step 1: Halve, stone and peel the 3 large ripe avocados. Set aside their complete flesh supply, then divide that flesh into two equal portions for blending and dicing. Zest the one lime and then juice it, keeping all its juice and zest separately.
Step 2: Blend half of the prepared avocado flesh with all 200 g natural yoghurt, all prepared lime juice, the juice of ½ lemon, and salt and black pepper to taste until smooth.
Step 3: Dice the remaining half of the prepared avocado flesh. Gently fold it into the blended dip with most of the prepared lime zest, reserving the rest of that same zest for serving. The source does not measure the two zest portions.
Step 4: Cover the complete chunky avocado dip and refrigerate it while you cook the potatoes. Keep its reserved prepared lime zest for garnishing. Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 for the immediate-roasting route.
Step 5: Bring enough water to cover the baby potatoes to the boil. Add the complete 1.25 kg baby new-potato supply and boil for 6 minutes. Drain well; the potatoes will finish cooking in the oven.
Step 6: Toss all the drained parboiled potatoes with the exact 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp hot chilli powder and 1 tsp cumin seeds. Spread them on a roasting tray and continue directly to roasting.
Step 7: Roast the prepared spiced potatoes in the heated oven for about 15 minutes, until the halfway point of the approximately 30-minute roasting phase. Keep the dip chilled while they roast.
Step 8: Shake the roasting tray at the halfway point. Roast the same potatoes for about 15 minutes more, until golden and tender; continue briefly if necessary to reach that endpoint.
Step 9: Transfer the chilled prepared dip to one or two serving bowls. Scatter over the reserved remaining zest from the original lime, then serve with all the hot golden potatoes and 200 g ready tortilla chips. This makes 8 snack portions.
