Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to form a spice mixture.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even roasting.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, remove them from the oven.

Step 8

Optional: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.

Step 9

Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy!
