Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large potatoes, diced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). The high heat ensures the potatoes turn golden and crispy.
-
Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, combine diced potatoes with olive oil, chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the flavorful spices.
-
Arrange on a Baking Sheet:
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure the potatoes are not overcrowded to allow even roasting and crisping.
-
Roast the Potatoes:
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning and crispiness on all sides.
-
Add Finishing Touches:
- Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately drizzle them with lime juice. Sprinkle with chopped fresh cilantro for a burst of freshness and zesty flavor.
-
Serve:
- Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy as a side dish with grilled meats, tacos, or as part of a festive Mexican meal.
Notes
- For extra heat, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes to the seasoning mix.
- These potatoes also make a great addition to a Mexican-style breakfast bowl or brunch.
