Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Peruvian potatoes (purple, red, or yellow mix)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 4 wedges Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Wash and scrub the potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a clean towel. If the potatoes are large, cut them into bite-sized pieces; otherwise, leave them whole.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create a flavorful oil mixture.

Step 4

Add the potatoes to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

Step 5

Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 6

Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the potatoes halfway through the cooking time to ensure they are golden and crispy on all sides. Test doneness with a fork; it should easily pierce through the potatoes when they are tender.

Step 7

Remove the potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro for a burst of freshness.

Step 8

Serve warm with lime wedges on the side for an extra tangy kick. Enjoy your Roasted Peruvian Potatoes as a side dish or a flavorful snack!
