Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the Russet potatoes. Cut them into even, bite-sized cubes for uniform cooking.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the potato cubes to the bowl and toss them thoroughly to ensure they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the coated potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded. This will help them become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the potatoes for 35 to 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the potatoes are baking, chop the fresh cilantro and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the roasted potatoes to a serving dish, then sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze fresh lime juice over the potatoes just before serving for a zesty finish.
Serve your Dairy-Free Fiesta Potatoes hot as a side dish or enjoy them on their own.
