Ingredients

  • 7 baby potatoes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 lime
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
  • Peel and chop your potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain well and let them steam dry.
  • In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, salt, paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and cumin. Toss the potatoes in the spice mix until they are well-coated.
  • Spread the potatoes out on a baking tray, ensuring they’re not overcrowded. Roast in the preheated oven for 40–50 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  • Remove the potatoes from the oven and immediately squeeze fresh lime juice over them. Toss gently to coat.
  • Garnish with a sprinkle of extra paprika or fresh herbs, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
