Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200 ℃ (390 ℉).
- Peel, wash, and cube the potatoes into 2 cm (¾ ") pieces.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined tray, without overlapping each other.
- Drizzle the potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and season them with salt and pepper.
- Then, roast the potatoes in the oven until they are golden brown, crispy, and fork-tender. This should take about 40 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Prepare the sauce while the potatoes are roasting. Finely chop the garlic and place a pan over low heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan along with the chopped garlic.
- Gently sauté the garlic over low heat, without burning it.
- Stir in the red pepper paste, chili flakes, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
- Finally, add the chopped cilantro/coriander to the pan and remove it from the heat.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, toss them in the garlic and cilantro mixture before serving them with your favorite meal.
- Top off the dish with a generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice and garnish with additional cilantro/coriander leaves for added flavor and freshness.

Notes
- Use waxy potatoes like Yukon golds or red potatoes, as they hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like russets.
- Cut the potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet when cooking the potatoes, as this can lead to steaming and a less crispy texture.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
- Use fresh cilantro/coriander leaves and stems for the best flavor and freshness.
- If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
