Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and peel the russet potatoes. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Place the potato cubes in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil.
In a small bowl, mix together paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the spice mixture over the potatoes and toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned potatoes onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Stir halfway through for even cooking.
While the potatoes are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced scallions.
Mix the sauce ingredients until smooth and set aside.
Once the potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked potatoes to a serving dish and drizzle with the prepared sauce.
Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and scallions if desired, and serve immediately.
