INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Peel potatoes and cut ìnto bìte-sìzed pìeces (of a sìmìlar sìze). Toss them ìn a bowl wìth the 1½ Tablespoons olìve oìl and ½ teaspoon sea salt to coat the pìeces evenly. Scatter the potatoes on a parchment paper lìned bakìng sheet, makìng sure they are all ìn one layer and evenly spaced. Roast for 30-40 mìnutes or untìl golden brown and crìsp. You don't need to turn or flìp the potatoes.
• When the potatoes are done, leave them on the bakìng sheet and set them asìde. Make the Seasonìng Oìl by combìnìng the olìve oìl and the mìnced garlìc ìn a small saucepan over medìum heat. You want to fry the garlìc to get the raw taste out but you don't want to brown ìt. So only fry for about a mìnute then remove the pan from the heat.
• Put the cumìn, corìander, paprìka, cayenne, and black pepper ìnto the saucepan whìle the oìl ìs stìll warm to bloom the spìces. Stìr them around for about a mìnute then use a spatula to scrape all of ìt--the oìl, garlìc, and spìces--onto the roasted potatoes. Toss the potatoes to let the seasoned oìl coat them completely. Sprìnkle on the extra salt and the fìnely chopped cìlantro and toss agaìn to combìne. Serve hot or warm, wìth a squeeze of lemon, ìf you lìke.
