  These were a great accompaniment to Seared steaks with Chimichurri salsa. Really fresh tasting and full of flavour! I boiled the potatoes for just 2 mins and once coated in the spices, left them aside until my guests arrived. Popped them in the oven to crisp up while got everything else prepped. This was a great way to reduce the amount of oil used and ensure crispy potatoes with fluffy insides. Left in the oven right up until ready to serve. Got to enjoy time with my guests more this way instead of standing at the stove and sweating! Will def make again.

  Delicious, low in calories and so easy! The soured cream works really well with the potatoes and would be lovely served with chicken. Great recipe, wouldn�t change a thing.

  very easy to make- i added extra cumin and some salt when frying the potatoes - delicious - having the potaotes as a side dish to go with carnitas (slow roasted shredded pork) tortillas, sour cream, guacamole and salsa and with mexican rice for Fathers day treat!

  Loved this. We served it with the mexican steaks and the sizzled onions and peppers. I think I would take Hen's advice and chuck them in the oven at the end to crisp up next time - possibly even better that way!
