- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and slice them into halves (or quarters if the potatoes are large) to ensure even cooking.
Step 2
Place the potatoes in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

Stir the potatoes gently and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, ensuring they crisp evenly.
Step 6
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 7
Sprinkle in the smoked paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Toss the potatoes to coat them evenly with the spices.
Step 8
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the potatoes.
