Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the yellow potatoes thoroughly. Cut each potato into 1-inch chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined.
Add the potato chunks to the bowl and toss them in the olive oil mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the coated potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Roast the potatoes in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crispy on the outside while tender on the inside.
While the potatoes are roasting, roughly chop the fresh basil leaves.
Once the potatoes are done, transfer them to a serving bowl. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the hot potatoes and toss gently to combine.
For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy the delicious combination of crispy potatoes and fresh basil with hints of Argentinian-inspired spices.
