Ingredients

• 500 grams baby potatoes
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional for a smoky flavor)
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Wash the baby potatoes thoroughly and cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are larger than 1 inch in diameter.

Step 2

Place the potatoes in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Let them cook for 8-10 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the turmeric powder, ground cumin, and paprika (if using). Stir the spices into the oil to form a fragrant paste.

Step 6

Add the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Gently toss them in the spice mixture to coat them evenly without breaking them apart.

Step 7

Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. Let the potatoes cook in the skillet for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the edges to crisp slightly.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the potatoes. Toss gently to combine.

Step 9

Garnish the potatoes with freshly chopped cilantro and serve warm.
