Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash, peel (optional), and dice the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
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.
Add the diced potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through for even roasting.
Once the potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the edges, remove them from the oven.
Optional: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for a burst of flavor and color.
Serve immediately as a side dish, appetizer, or snack. Enjoy!
