Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the waxy potatoes, then cut them into even-sized cubes, about 1-inch in size.
In a large bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Add oil and mix well.
Add the cubed potatoes to the bowl and toss to ensure they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Spread the seasoned potatoes on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring space between them.
Roast the potatoes for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway for even browning, until golden and crispy.
Once roasted, toss the potatoes with chopped cilantro and lime juice before serving.
