Start by scrubbing the potatoes under running water, then peel them and dice into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside on a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.

Heat sufficient oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.

Add diced potatoes in a single layer and stir occasionally every 5 minutes for about 15 minutes until crispy and golden.

In a small bowl, mix salt, smoked paprika, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper for the spice blend.

Once potatoes are cooked, sprinkle the spice mix over them and toss gently to coat evenly.

Add minced garlic to the potatoes and return to low heat for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Squeeze fresh lime juice over the potatoes to enhance flavor.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.
