Batata Harra (Spicy Potatoes)

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450 °F (230 °C).

Step 2

Add the potatoes, olive oil, and salt to a bowl and toss to coat. Transfer them to a baking sheet and spread them in one singly layer. Roast the potatoes for 20-30 minutes until they are golden brown. Flip them after 10-15 minutes so they brown evenly.

Step 3

Preheat some olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Shortly sauté the garlic. Then add the tomato paste and spices, and sauté until fragrant. Add half of the cilantro and the lemon juice.

Step 4

At this point, the potatoes should be ready. Add them to the sauce and toss until they are coated.

Step 5

Check if you want to add more lemon juice, spices, or salt and pepper. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve!
