Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized cubes.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the grated ginger and minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the turmeric, ground cumin, coriander powder, red chili powder, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir the spices well to combine.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly with the spiced oil.
Cover the skillet and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and slightly crispy on the outside.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Sauté the potatoes for another 3-5 minutes to achieve a desirable crispiness.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the potatoes.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a main course with bread or steamed rice.
