Step-by-Step Instructions

Scrub the potatoes under cold water, peel them, and slice into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet in a single layer, cooking for about 5 minutes undisturbed, then stir.
Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Mix salt, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper in a bowl.
Once potatoes are crispy, add spice mix and minced garlic, tossing to coat. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Remove from heat and drizzle with fresh lime juice. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
