Ingredients

• 500 grams new potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 3 cloves garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the new potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt from the skin. Leave the skins on for added texture and flavor.

Step 2

Cut any large new potatoes in half to ensure even cooking. Smaller potatoes can be left whole.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add the new potatoes and cook for 12-15 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

While the potatoes are cooking, finely mince the garlic cloves and roughly chop the fresh cilantro.

Step 5

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and let them sizzle for 30 seconds until they become fragrant.

Step 7

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, being careful not to let it brown too much.

Step 8

Sprinkle the ground cumin into the pan and stir well to combine the spices with the oil and garlic.

Step 9

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Toss them gently to coat them in the spiced oil mixture.

Step 10

Season the potatoes with the salt and ground black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 11

Allow the potatoes to cook in the skillet for an additional 5 minutes, turning occasionally so they develop a light golden crust.

Step 12

Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the potatoes with fresh lemon juice.

Step 13

Garnish with the chopped cilantro and serve warm as a side dish.
